The Tulip bulbs Vendeeglobe are bulbs of a tulip with large, warm yellow flowers on sturdy flower stems. They grow to about 50 centimetres tall. Thanks to those strong stems they stay upright in wind and rain and are also suitable as a cut flower.

The bulbs are size 11/12 and each produce one generous flower. The bright yellow brings light to the border, along the path or in a pot on the patio. With 12 bulbs you fill a pot of around 35 centimetres, with 24 bulbs a spot in the border. With 48 or 96 bulbs you can plant a whole bed or a yellow strip along the path; allow 50 to 70 bulbs per square metre. Combine them with other tulip bulbs that flower in April and May, such as purple or white varieties. You will find more greenery for outdoors among our outdoor plants.

When should you plant the Tulip bulbs Vendeeglobe?

The best time to plant the Tulip bulbs Vendeeglobe is from mid-October to the end of November, when the soil has cooled to below 10 °C. The bulbs then root before winter without sprouting too early. If the ground is not frozen, you can carry on into December. Tulips need a cold period to flower, so planting in spring makes no sense.

When do the Tulip bulbs Vendeeglobe flower?

The Tulip bulbs Vendeeglobe flower in April and May, in the second half of the tulip season. Each flower stays beautiful for about two to three weeks. If you cut them for the vase, do so when the bud is just colouring; they will last about a week. In a pot in a warm spot they flower earlier, after a cold spring later. If you let the foliage die back after flowering, they will return next spring.

Care and tips Tulip bulbs Vendeeglobe

Plant the bulbs pointed end up, about 12 to 15 centimetres deep and 10 centimetres apart. They want well-drained soil; in heavy clay, mix some sand into the planting soil. In a pot, start with a layer of gravel or clay pebbles for drainage; among our outdoor pots and baskets you will find a pot that fits. After flowering, cut off the spent flower and leave the foliage until it has turned yellow, so the bulb can recover its strength. A little bulb fertiliser in early spring is sufficient.
