An early flowering Monet.
This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.
Extra large tulip heads in a dashing golden shade. Tulip ‘Early Gold’, as its name suggests flowers nice and early in the season, getting the season going.
These huge, goblet shaped blooms are head and shoulders above the rest! We love the array of bold, bright colour that these hardy bulbs provide.
We recommend Monet Tulips for their vigour, especially in warmer climates and for beginners. Of course they also grow really well in cooler climes.
Tulips may have a reputation as `difficult customers` but in most cases this is undeserved. When you buy a bulb the flower is already pre-formed, ready to bloom. All you need to do is plant them into well drained soil in a sunny spot, fertilise and water, then wait for the show!
While tulips can be a little more work than some bulbs, their show is second to none.
A simple way to remember when to plant your tulips is Mother`s Day! It is ideal because by this time of year the soil has cooled sufficiently for planting. It doesn’t have to be on the day but as long as you are around the date.
All our bulbs are ready to grow; they do not need to be chilled.
It is a good idea to prepare the soil for their arrival by adding some delicious organic matter. Tulips need good drainage and at least six hours sun a day to flower at their best. Plant the bulbs 15-20cm deep with the pointed end up. Space your tulips 10-20cm apart, planting closer for a more spectacular show.
In most areas it is recommended you lift and store your Tulip bulbs once their foliage has browned. You don’t need to do this if you live in an area with frost, the soil is shaded or mulched through summer and the ground does not become soggy during their dormant period.
