Breck's Orange Princess Tulip

The Orange Princess is a double-flowered variety, meaning it has significantly more petals than a typical tulip. This gives it a lush, layered appearance that closely resembles a peony rather than the classic cup shape.

These bulbs should be planted in the fall. This allows them to establish roots before the ground freezes, ensuring they are ready to bloom in late spring.

They work well in both settings. Because they reach a height of 14 inches, they are compact enough for containers, provided you plant them at the recommended depth of 6 inches and ensure the pot has good drainage.

Orange Princess tulips thrive in full sun to partial shade. For the most vibrant color and strongest stems, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

Yes, they are excellent for cut flower arrangements. Their sturdy, upright habit and unique, multi-toned petals make them a striking focal point in a vase.

This award, given by the Royal Horticultural Society, indicates that the variety has been tested and proven to perform reliably in garden conditions. It is a strong indicator of disease resistance, vigor, and overall garden performance.
