Lily Flowering Tulip Pieter de Leur
T1955
Description
Lily-flowering tulip ‘Pieter de Leur’ is a luxurious tulip to add a lick of brilliant colour to spring pots and garden borders.
Deep velvety-red petals, brushed with a sweep of burgundy snake up and flare outwards. This striking scarlet tulip ‘Pieter de Leur’ is part of the lily-flowered family who are perhaps the most elegant of all tulip shapes, bringing glamour and graceful curves together with bold colour.
Long stems make this fine tulip perfect for picking and arranging in impactful floral displays and bouquets.
Care Guide
October to November are the optimum months for planting Tulip bulbs. The cooler late-autumn temperatures help to keep disease at bay, whilst still allowing time for your bulbs to put roots down before spring.
Any well-drained, fertile soil is perfect for Tulips, ideally in full sun or part shade. Plant the bulbs 10-20 cm deep, spaced 10-20 cm apart. A piece of chicken wire or mesh can be placed on top of the soil or pots after planting if squirrels or rodents are a problem in your area.
After flowering in March to May, remove withered stems, foliage and any fallen petals to promote good plant health and apply a top dressing of high-potash fertiliser in late winter.
