Product description
Tulip Apricot Favourite is a robust, single-stemmed Darwin Hybrid known for its luminous, soft apricot-orange petals that seem to glow from within when hit by the spring sun. It boasts a perfectly symmetrical, classic tulip shape and exceptionally strong, weather-resistant stems, making it a top-tier choice for professional landscapers and cut flower growers.
For optimal growth, bury the bulbs deeply in free-draining earth during the late autumn months.
