Tulipa fosteriana (Yellow Emperor) 'CANDELA'

Fosteriana tulips are often called ´Emperor´, hence two names. ´Candela´ is one of the earliest, with blooming time already from the beginning of March till the end of April. It has elegantly simple, rich yellow flowers on sturdy stems that can stand almost any spring weather caprice. It is ideal for low borders as well as for pots on patios. Looks gorgeous planted in masses.
Tulips grow in fertile, well-drained soil, in full sun or part-shade. For best performance it is recommended to dig their bulbs out from the garden bed every year after the leaves wither. Store them in a dry, dark and cool place until October/November (before frosts) which is the best time for planting them again. You will gain the best colour and flower size if you find them a different location every year. When cutting the flowers always clean the knife before you use it on another variety. Distance between individual bulbs: 12 cm; planting depth: 10 cm; always tips upwards. Fully hardy.
