Double Tulips: Full Bloom and Enchanting Fragrance

Tulips are classics in the flower bed. In the most vibrant colors, they greet the spring. Their noble siblings are very special early bloomers: Double Tulips.

Double tulips surprise with a colorful core. But that's not the only thing that distinguishes them from their relatives. These noble tulips are primarily characterized by their broad blossoms and enchanting fragrance. Whether for the garden or as a bouquet in a vase: you can't go wrong with these exquisite tulips.

Tulips come in a wide variety of forms. Whether wild tulips or cultivated varieties, they always have something new to offer. As exclusive beauties for the flower bed, exquisite tulips present themselves – and they are double. Double tulips have more petals than others. For the effect of a full bloom, their stamens have been transformed through breeding. This makes the blossoms of double tulips more opulent, broader, and more striking. But not only that: double tulips also impress with their fragrance.

They don't just have more striking blossoms. Double tulips also have a stronger fragrance than their single-flowered relatives. This sets them apart from other tulips and allows them to shine in a fragrant garden. Spending a mild summer evening in the garden in a cozy seating area, surrounded by pleasant scents – with double tulips, the first step towards this dreamlike ambiance is taken. Double tulips stand up to comparison with roses. In contrast to their rather inconspicuous relatives, double tulips certainly rival the elegant peonies.

Double tulips are not only rich in blossoms and fragrant. Many varieties showcase unusual color combinations, often in delicate watercolor tones. Others set the colors of their blooms in stark contrast to each other. Due to their rather low growth, double tulips are versatile and easy to combine. They grow between 20 and 40 centimeters tall and feel particularly comfortable in a sheltered location. A planting distance of five to seven centimeters gives them enough space to develop. Whether it's the colorfully speckled 'Fruitcocktail', 'Ice Cream' in pink and white, or 'Monsella' in fiery red and yellow tones: there's something for every taste. A magnificent decoration for the garden in spring.
