Tulip Van Eijk - Single Tulip

The large flowers of this Darwin hybrid tulip are a vibrant, cherry-red. Strong, tall stems produce single, long-lasting flowers. Tulip Van Eijk’s weather-resistant blooms are produced reliably over several years. They make excellent cut flowers and thrive equally well grown in containers or herbaceous borders. Once flowers have been cut allow foliage to remain in place in the garden, this concentrates the plant’s energy into the bulb for strong, healthy growth the following Spring.
