Tulipa (Double Late Grp) 'Horizon'

Tulipa 'Horizon' is a stunning member of the Double Late Group, characterized by its double, or pleniflorous, flowers. These flowers are known for their abundance of petals, creating a beautiful and full appearance. What sets 'Horizon' apart is not only its stunning double blooms, but also its sweet scent that fills the air.

When it comes to color, 'Horizon' does not disappoint. The flowers display a range of shades, primarily in the red-dark red-053B spectrum. The deep, rich tones of red give the blooms a sense of elegance and sophistication. However, there are also some flowers that exhibit a bicolored distribution, with vibrant white-white-999D petals mixed in.

The combination of the red and white hues creates a captivating contrast that draws the eye. The bicolored distribution adds a touch of nuance to the overall display, making each flower a work of art in itself.

As with all tulips, 'Horizon' blooms in the spring, bringing a burst of color and fragrance to gardens and landscapes. Its double flowers make a statement, standing tall on sturdy stems, making them perfect for cut flower arrangements. Whether used as a centerpiece or part of a bouquet, 'Horizon' is sure to add a touch of elegance to any space.

In terms of care, 'Horizon' is relatively easy to grow. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Plant the bulbs in the fall, at a depth of about 6 inches, and water regularly during the growing season. Removing spent flowers will help redirect the plant's energy towards bulb development for future seasons.

Whether you're a seasoned tulip enthusiast or a novice gardener looking for a stunning addition to your flowerbed, Tulipa 'Horizon' is a fantastic choice. Its double, sweet-scented flowers in shades of red and white are a feast for the eyes and nose alike, making it a true showstopper in any garden.
