Product description
Tulip Librije is a striking Triumph tulip defined by the aggressive, sharp contrast between its deep violet-purple heart and crisp, snow-white petal edges. The bi-coloured nature of this classic, strong-stemmed flower gives it a very architectural, clean look that suits formal, modern garden layouts perfectly.
Planting should take place in November in free-draining soil, ensuring the bulbs are deep enough to remain insulated from severe frosts. It is a very sturdy variety that requires little mid-season care, but removing the spent flower heads promptly is crucial to redirecting its energy away from seed production.
These bulbs are supplied at a size of 11-12.

Instructions
Top Tip
A tip for Tulip Librije is to plant it in strict, geometric blocks rather than drifting it organically. The sharp contrast between its violet-purple center and crisp white edges looks highly architectural and modern when massed together.
How to Water
When it comes to watering Tulip Librije, give the soil a single deep soak immediately after planting to establish the roots. After this initial drink, it requires no further irrigation unless the active spring growing season is unusually dry.
How to Plant
To properly plant Tulip Librije, wait until November and dig a hole roughly 15 cm deep in well-draining loam. Place the bulb firmly at the bottom with its pointed tip facing the sky before covering it back up.
