Negrita Double Tulip - 5C

Tulipa 'Negrita Double' are a striking cut flower featuring large, peony-like double blooms in a rich, saturated blend of raspberry and blackberry-purple, with occasional flashes of green on the outer petals. A double form of the ever-popular Negrita, this variety is prized for its multi-petaled, rose-like structure and strong weather resistance, standing up well to spring wind and rain. Lightly fragrant and long-lasting, it makes a bold, dramatic statement in both the garden and the vase.

Quantity: 10 Bulbs (5°C)

Growing Specifications

• Bloom Time: Mid to late spring
• Height: 16 to 18 inches
• Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
• Hardiness Zones: Zones 3–8, fall planting in the Upstate SC (Oct - Dec) for spring blooms. Must cover when evening temperatures are 25 degrees or below.
• Pre-Cooling: These bulbs arrive having already received most of their required cooling period at 5°C (41°F), giving growers in mild climates like the Upstate a significant head start toward the cold hours tulips need, resulting in stronger, more uniform flowering than untreated bulbs.

Planting & Care Instructions

• Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining soil amended with compost.
• Depth & Spacing: Plant bulbs 6 to 8 inches deep, spaced 4 to 6 inches apart.
• Moisture: Water thoroughly at planting; normal rainfall is usually sufficient thereafter except in very dry climates.
