Tulipa Clusiana Cynthia - ORG

Some flowers have their own rhythm. Tulipa Clusiana Cynthia is one such flower. In sunlight, this botanical tulip unfolds its petals completely to form a radiant yellow star. Does the sun disappear behind the clouds? Then it closes up again and you mainly see the warm red glow on the outside of the petals. So, in fact, you get two flowers for the price of one. That never gets boring.

No ordinary tulip

Clusiana tulips are also known as ‘lady tulips’. Not because they’re delicate, but because of their slender shape and graceful, tapering petals. Cynthia proves that a tulip doesn’t have to be large to stand out. She doesn’t steal the show with her size, but with her elegance. Set amongst other spring-flowering plants, she brings a sense of calm and refinement, without ever becoming dull. And if you look closely, you’ll discover that no two moments of the day are exactly the same.

Built to thrive

Unlike many large decorative tulips, Cynthia thrives in a permanent spot in the garden. These organic tulip bulbs naturalise well in a sunny spot with well-drained soil and return year after year. This makes her ideal for natural borders, rockeries or a sunny spot where you don’t want to replant every autumn. Keep her feet dry in summer and she’ll feel right at home.

Surprisingly resilient in a vase too

With her slender stems and delicate flowers, you might think that Cynthia only really comes into her own outdoors. Nothing could be further from the truth. She also performs surprisingly well as a cut flower. Just a few stems in a narrow vase are enough to catch the eye. These 100% organically grown tulip bulbs produce flowers that may not be the largest in the garden, but are often the ones people ask about first. That really says it all.
