Product Information
This appealing double tulip offers full, white flowers, each petal feathered with raspberry-red stripes as if painted on – hence the tulip family name of 'Rembrandt'.
Their colour and form are perfectly framed by pretty, silvery-green foliage, and with long-lasting blooms from late April/May, they are an ideal choice to extend the springtime cheer in your beds, borders and containers. Their striking, bowl-shaped blossoms make a charming display in a vase.
An easy-to-grow, hardy perennial, Carnaval de Nice thrives in rich fertile, well-drained conditions, enjoying full or afternoon sun. Plant in the autumn to enjoy flowering well into spring, with enough for plenty of cut flowers.
Supplied as a pack of 15 bulbs, they are best planted in groups in borders or pots. Weave them amongst other spring-flowering bulbs for a stunning display.

Top Tips
Care Information
Planting Advice for your tulip bulbs:
- Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
- Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
- They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they'll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
- Leave them in the ground once they die back for flowers again next year.
- While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
- Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
- If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.
Aftercare Advice for your tulip bulb collection:
- Tulips can be planted as late as November, but it's best to get your bulbs in the ground so that they can establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
- Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
- Water frequently and if in pots ensure that the compost doesn't dry out.
Tidying your Tulips:
- Once flowering is over, it is important to leave the leaves on your tulips until they have died right down, usually by early summer. This allows the bulb to store food and produce flowers the following year.
- While it is recommended that bulbs are dug up and dried in the summer sun, modern thought is that there is no real benefit from doing this and many gardeners now leave bulbs where they are.
