Tulipa 'Exotic Emperor'
double early tulip bulbs (syn. White Valley)
- Position: full sun
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: April
- Hardiness: fully hardy
- Bulb size: 11/12
These large, beautifully shaped flowers really look great when planted in bold clumps. The flowers emerge from somewhat twisted green buds (which have a charm all of their own) to reveal lots of green-flushed, creamy yellow-coloured petals. Choose this one if you want early double flowers, which will help extend the bedding display. - Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering deadhead and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
- Humans: Harmful if eaten; skin allergen; Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
