Tulip - Salmon van Eijk

Tulipa

The story behind this tulip is that when we were on an inspirational trip to Holland, we passed by a field of Salmon van Eijk tulips and hit the brakes because they were incredibly beautiful. It’s sometimes difficult to describe the color, but we would say it shifts between salmon pink and apricot. It grows tall and majestic, approximately 60 cm, and produces large, stunning flowers. It has a sturdy stem and is excellent as a cut flower.

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!
