Double Gudoshnik Tulip

Gudoshnik Double Tulip has impressive, 5” flowers at full bloom. We fell in love with this tulip when we saw its size and the color combination displayed- warm reds, golden yellows, and pinkish oranges.

Care:  Amend soil with compost before planting tulips. Feed with a granular flower bulb fertilizer at planting time or in the spring when the leaves emerge. Cut back spent flowers and allow foliage to die back naturally before removing it (4-6 weeks after flowering). In southern climates, with mild winters the bulbs need to have a chill period of 6-12 weeks before planting. Tulips do not like too much heat and tend to bloom longer when planted in a site with morning sun rather than just afternoon sun.
