Tulipa 'Yonina'
lily flowered tulip bulbs
- Position: full sun
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: May
- Hardiness: fully hardy
- Bulb size: 11/12
The pointed pink petals look like they have been dipped in bluish purple ink, while their colour fades to near white around the outer edges creating a very pretty effect. Plant it with other pinks, purples or white, ideally with a more traditionally shaped tulip for best effect. - 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.
