Tulip - Francoise

Tulip - Francoise

Few single-flowered tulip varieties surpass our beloved favorite, Francoise. With its incredibly long and sturdy stems, we spotted it for the first time from quite a distance. The white beautiful flowers hovered slightly higher than all the others, capturing our curious gazes and immediately drawing us in. In all its simplicity, Francoise can be one of the most beautiful things we have actually seen.

It is a truly wonderful variety to have as a background plant or interwoven with other slightly taller varieties such as allium or the tulip variety Apricot Pride. It is also great for cutting due to its unusually long stems.

    Perennial flower bulbs

    Do we have perennial flower bulbs, and how does it work?

    All tulips in our assortment can bloom for multiple years if given the right conditions. Normally, we usually say that they are one-year bloomers, so if they bloom for several years, it's just a bonus. This applies to almost all tulips. No tulip is truly perennial; instead, what happens is that if you provide the tulip bulb with the right conditions, it will form a new side bulb during the flowering period, which will bloom the following year.

    However, daffodils are usually recurring. They are a safer choice if you want recurring blooms. Most daffodil varieties also have the pleasant characteristic of spreading and multiplying!
