Tulip (single early) Purple Prince
12 bulbs for € 7.25
Purple Prince is a tulip with beautiful large purple flowers. It has a full and intense purple color, making this variety very popular, also as a cut flower.
Early single tulips bloom in early spring (April). They are very suitable for planting in pots or a flower bed. This is because they have a short flower stem with little foliage.
After the tulip blooms, the bulb will want to produce seeds. It puts all its energy into producing offspring. Therefore, cut the flower off after blooming. All the energy and nutrients that the plant then produces will go to the bulb, making it strong enough for a new blooming season.
Tulips were introduced to the Western world by the Viennese ambassador to Turkey, Ogier Gisleen van Busbeke, who wrote about the flowers he saw in 1551 in Turkish Edirne. Later, he sent some seeds of them to Austria.
The arrival of a shipment of tulip bulbs in 1562 in Antwerp marked the beginning of European tulip cultivation. The first documented specimens were planted by the Fleming Carolus Clusius in the Hortus botanicus Leiden Hortus, which he led from 1593.
