DutchGrown Tulip Sunlover

The Sunlover is a dynamic variety that shifts hues as it matures. It begins the season as a bright golden yellow, gradually deepens into rich orange tones, and finishes with a striking orangey-red color.

These bulbs perform beautifully in both garden borders and containers. Because they reach a mature height of 18 inches, they are well-suited for pots, provided you ensure the container has adequate drainage.

The Sunlover is a perennial variety, meaning it is designed to return for years. However, like many tulips, their performance is best in the first few seasons and can sometimes decline over time depending on your local climate and soil conditions.

If you have deer in your area, the most effective protection is to plant these bulbs in fenced-in areas or use raised beds. You can also try applying commercial deer repellent sprays, though these require consistent reapplication, especially after rain.

For optimal growth, plant your Tulip Sunlover bulbs 5 inches deep. This depth helps protect the bulb from temperature fluctuations and ensures the stem has enough support as it grows.

Yes, they are an excellent choice for cutting. Their double-flowering structure, which resembles a peony, adds significant texture and visual interest to indoor arrangements.
