Tulipa Van Eijk dates from 1995 and belongs to the group of Darwin hybrid tulips, growing to approximately 50 cm tall. The flower combines a blend of colors, ranging from yellowish green to pink and red, making it an attractive and versatile variety.
Plant these tulips approximately 10 cm deep and 10 cm apart.
Darwin hybrid tulips are known for their long, strong stems, making them ideal for cutting and displaying in a vase. This variety blooms in the middle of the season (April/May). What makes this tulip especially remarkable is that some bulbs can return for several years.
Lasagna planting with flower bulbs
Would you like to enjoy colorful flowers very early and for a long time, while the rest of the garden is still in deep winter dormancy? Then create a lasagna planting arrangement with flower bulbs. It is a fun DIY project with a rewarding result.
Lasagna planting is a way of planting flower bulbs that is also known as tiered planting. It means that flower bulbs are planted in layers on top of one another, just like a lasagna dish or the floors of an apartment building. Because the bulbs are planted in layers, early bloomers such as crocuses flower first. They are followed by bulbs that bloom later. This succession of blooms allows you to enjoy flowers for an extra-long period—from January sometimes all the way through May.
There are several things you need for a lasagna planting arrangement with flower bulbs. Start with a pot that is large and tall enough to plant at least three layers. You will also need drainage granules, potting soil, and, of course, flower bulbs.
