  • Information
  • Giant Darwin Hybrid Tulips
    Sometimes referred to as perennial tulips by others, Giant Darwin Hybrid Tulips were introduced to the United States by John Scheepers, our great uncle, in 1951. Their huge, vibrant flowers on strong stems are known to return for multiple years when planted in a nice sunny spot with good drainage, fertilized regularly and not cut for bouquets. Flowering from mid-April into May, these stately tulips are excellent for spectacular garden displays and lovely cut flower arrangements. Top size bulbs: at least 12 cm. Bloom time: Mid-April into May. Plant 6" to 8" deep and 6" apart. Horticultural zones 3-7. Height: 18" to 26" depending on the variety.
