Breck's Maureen Tulip

These tulips begin with a crisp, marble-white appearance when they first open. As the season progresses, the petals gently warm into a soft, creamy ivory tone.

Yes, they are an excellent choice for cutting gardens. Their tall, strong stems provide the necessary structure for arrangements, and their elegant, goblet-shaped blooms hold up well in a vase.

While Maureen tulips perform best in full sun, they can tolerate partial shade. Keep in mind that they may produce slightly shorter stems or bloom a bit later if they receive less than six hours of direct sunlight.

For optimal growth and stability, plant the bulbs 6 inches deep. This depth helps protect them from temperature fluctuations and ensures the tall stems have enough support.

These bulbs are hardy in zones 3 through 8. If you live in a colder climate (zone 3), ensure they are planted in well-draining soil to prevent rot during the winter months.

For a lush, full look in garden borders or mass plantings, space the bulbs 3 to 6 inches apart. Planting them closer to the 3-inch mark will create a denser, more impactful display of white blooms.
