Here is a fantastic tulip with a really fruity flavour! Of course, it’s not actually edible, but this rare-to-find tulip certainly does look delicious! Its flowers are of the deepest red, with some of the petals verging on deep pink. The basal petals have greenish markings, too. And the flowers are just packed with petals—a true double tulip that will make your beds, borders or containers come alive with vivid colour and vibrancy.
Tulip ‘Ice Cream Strawberry’ opens into a luxurious, silky stack of intense, ruffled layers giving an overall appearance of strawberries, held in a green cup, ready to have cream poured all over them!
A truly unusual Tulip which looks good enough to eat! Tulip Ice Cream will provide much interest in the spring, especially with children. Perfect for patio containers, garden borders or even as part of a cut flower display for enjoying within the home. Flowers during the spring season from April to May. Height 50cm. 11/12cm bulbs supplied.
• Big Blooms
• Long-Lasting Color
Find a location where the soil drains well. If there are still puddles of water 5-6 hours after a hard rain, scout out another site. Or amend the soil with the addition of organic material to raise the level 2 – 3 inches to improve the drainage. Peat moss, compost, ground bark or decomposed manure all work well and are widely available.
Plant your tulips where they will get full sun to light shade. Keep in mind that for tulips to return in subsequent springs they will need a period of winter cooling. This happens easily in northern areas and will occur to the cooler parts of zone 8. (Some bulb sellers suggest that tulips will return after growing the year round warmth of zone 9. Sadly, it’s just wishful thinking.)
Plant tulips 5″ apart and 6″ to 7″ deep at the base. Deeper planting depths are better in colder regions. Position the bulbs with the pointy end facing up.
After planting, water well once, gently soaking the soil to settle it around the roots. Roots will form in the autumn. Foliage and flowers will develop in the spring.
When in bloom, feel free to cut tulips for striking bouquets.
After blooming has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don’t cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulb for the future. Water as needed during active growth periods; about 1″ of moisture per week is a good estimate.
By the early summer the leaves will yellow and die back. The dried foliage may be removed at this point. Your bulbs will rest until next spring when they’ll beginning the next growing cycle. When leaves are absent and the bulbs are dormant, withhold water.
Pots, Barrels, Tubs & Urns
Start with containers of good quality, well-drained soil. Tulips that sit in water logged soil will rot. Shorter varieties usually perform better in all but the largest containers.
