Product Description
Give your garden the look of an old-time painting with Monte Orange, pictured here with Monte Carlo (yellow) and Monte Snow (white). This double tulip bears overlapping, rounded petals in a unique melon colour with a hint of blushing green bars on the outer petals. Monte Orange gives off an incredibly enticing fragrance - therefore we recommend planting in an area near to a bench or patio so it can be fully appreciated. Why not plant Monte Orange with other orange tulips, for a warm display of colour? Don't forget that tulips like to be planted late in October and November with the colder weather (it helps wipe out disease, too.)

Growing at a glance…
Tulip bulbs should be planted in autumn, before any frost. Find an area of soil that is well-drained and moist and plant your bulbs at twice their depth and spaced apart by 10-15cm. Ensure they are properly covered, you should not be able to see them on the surface of the soil. Position in an area that you know receives plenty of sunlight but is also sheltered from harsh winds. Deadhead the flowers once they wilt, encouraging a healthier plant.
