The Tulipa 'Iceberg' is a beautiful variety of the Double Early group of tulips. Its flower has a unique double or pleniflorous form, which means it has multiple layers of petals, giving it a fuller look compared to regular tulips. The 'Iceberg' tulip is known for its striking pure white color, classified as White-white-155A, and is a true showstopper in any garden or floral arrangement.

Measuring between 4.5 to 5 centimeters in length, the flowers of 'Iceberg' tulip are relatively small but have a commanding presence due to their unique form and color. The petals are evenly distributed, making the flower appear unicolored from a distance, with the pure white hue remaining consistent throughout the plant.

As a member of the Double Early group, 'Iceberg' tulip blooms early in the spring, delighting gardeners and flower enthusiasts eager for the arrival of the new season. Its distinctive double form and captivating white color add an air of elegance and charm to the garden, making it a sought-after variety among tulip lovers.

The 'Iceberg' tulip's compact size and sturdy stems make it ideal for planting in borders, beds, or containers. Its pristine white blooms create a stunning visual contrast, particularly when combined with other spring flowers or against a backdrop of lush green foliage. These tulips are also exquisite cut flowers, adding a touch of sophistication to floral arrangements and bouquets.

To ensure the best possible display, 'Iceberg' tulips should ideally be planted in full sun or partial shade in well-draining soil. They thrive in areas with cool and mild climates where they can receive the necessary chilling period for proper development. Planting bulbs in the fall, before the ground freezes, will allow them to establish their roots and be ready to burst into bloom come spring.

Like other tulip varieties, 'Iceberg' tulips are generally low-maintenance. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, and a layer of mulch to protect the bulbs from extreme temperatures are usually sufficient to keep them healthy. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally, as this helps replenish the energy stored in the bulbs for the following year's growth.

Whether you're looking to add a touch of elegance to your garden or create stunning floral arrangements, the Tulipa 'Iceberg' is an excellent choice. Its double form, pure white color, and compact size make it a standout variety that is sure to captivate all who see it. With proper care, these tulips will reward you with their exquisite beauty year after year.
