Tulipa Mix VELT - ORG

Eating tulip leaves — it may sound strange, but it’s a centuries-old tradition. In times of scarcity, tulip bulbs and leaves were a welcome addition to the table. Today, it’s mainly a curious and flavourful discovery: the young leaves have a mild, slightly sweet taste and look wonderful as a garnish for a starter or tossed into a spring salad.

In collaboration with VELT

This mix has been created in collaboration with VELT, the Flemish ecological gardening association. VELT has been committed to organic and ecological gardening for decades — an organisation that is perfectly aligned with the way Natural Bulbs operates. The tulips in this mix have been carefully selected for their colour, flowering time and suitability for the vegetable garden.

From vegetable garden to vase

Plant the bulbs between October and December at a depth of around 15 cm. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Gently pick the leaves in spring — use a few as a decorative accent on a plate or in a salad. The flowers themselves are also edible. And whatever is left over looks lovely in a vase or in the border. Organically grown, certified NL-BIO-01.
