This is my sixth blog post about the tulip growing trial I conducted last year. In this post, I will focus on the single orange tulips I grew. Just a little reminder that all my tulip bulbs (except Camargue and Menton Unique because they sold out really quickly and I missed out) were sourced from the New Zealand mail order bulbs supplier Bulbs Direct, whose generous discount made it possible for me to conduct such an extensive growing trial spanning 49 different tulip varieties. A huge thank you to Kayne and his family! Single flowering orange tulips Last winter, I grew the following varieties:
Orange Babies This is perhaps my favourite out of all the orange single flowering tulips I grew last winter. It is early flowering and has medium stems. Orange Babies is absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend this variety. Ad Rem This is a Darwin tulip variety, which makes it suitable for growing in climates with mild winters like Auckland. Ad Rem is an early to mid-season flowering variety which has quite big flowers. It has long stems and is really beautiful. I highly recommend this variety. Orange Juice This is a beautiful orange tulip with long stems. Orange Juice flowers early to mid-season. It looks beautiful in a vase. Temples Favourite
This variety flowers later in the season and has long stems. It’s a good idea to use a plastic floral sleeve if placing them in a vase, as the flowers can tend to flop over.
