Spicy colors for your spring garden! The Prinses Irene Tulip bulb plants (Tulipa 'Prinses Irene') Bloom with the most dramatic orange and red striped petals. Featuring a darker stripe along the center of each petal, the tall waving wands rise high above their green foliage!
Prinses create clusters of wide blades of foliage and a central rosette. This member of the illustrious Tulip family will turn heads with its dramatic color! Blooming in mid-late spring, these flowering bulbs have the incredible cold hardiness and ease of care you'd expect from the family!
Perfect for the novice gardener, or anyone with a small yard, perennial bulbs bloom every year, multiplying and forming tidy clumps on their own over time without ever taking over your garden beds!
Planting and Application:
Dress up any late spring garden bed or border with vibrant color that blends with other warm and hot colors, certainly melting any remaining thoughts of snow with their intense hot-toned hue! Add unique blooms to rock gardens and along pathways, or plant them in rows along gardens as edging and low border plants. They are perfect for bouquets, so they are an absolute must-have for the cutting garden!
Mix Prinses among other spring bulbs or intersperse among larger perennials and shrubs without worrying about their roots crowding each other out. No room or in a growing zone that doesn't support these bulbs? Force for winter décor or plant in containers as an annual for porches and planter decoration all spring long!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Fall-planted bulbs should be planted in the fall 6 to 8 weeks before the ground freezes. Plant the bulbs pointed end up and at least 8-inches deep. The location should be mulched, well-drained and in full sun to part shade. Tulips cannot tolerate soggy conditions.
