Tulipa "Avignon" — This striking late-flowering variety captures attention with its rich orange color and subtle crimson streaks on the petals. Large goblet-shaped flowers, 8-10 cm tall, rise on strong stems up to 65 cm high, creating a bright accent in the spring garden. Flowering occurs in May and is characterized by its long-lasting decorative appeal. This variety pairs perfectly with parrot, green-flowered, and other late tulips in white, yellow, or lilac shades, allowing you to create luxurious floral arrangements.
Tulips prefer sunny, wind-protected areas with light, well-drained, non-acidic soil. Before planting, add humus (up to 10 kg/m²); fresh manure should not be used. Bulbs are planted in September – early October: small ones at a depth of 7–10 cm, large ones up to 15 cm, leaving 10–20 cm between them. When planting, it is recommended to add a layer of sand for drainage.
Tulips are frost-resistant but do not tolerate waterlogging. During dry periods, they require watering. After flowering, remove seed pods, but leave the leaves until they completely wither. In July–August, dig up the bulbs, dry them, and store them until planting at a gradually decreasing temperature. For winter, mulch plantings with peat or compost. Tulips can grow in the same spot for up to 5 years.
