Enjoy an ever-changing show of colour with this unique double tulip. Sundowner has rich golden-yellow petals which bleed to fiery red as they mature. Each day during the blooming season brings a new and different colour combination. Spectacular when planted en masse in a prominent area of the garden. Large double blooms, up to 8" across, sit proudly atop tall, sturdy stems and easily withstand strong spring winds and rain.
Because of their shape, these tulips are also known as peony-flowered tulips. Double late tulips perform exceptionally well in regions having cold wintes and late springs.
The peacocks and parrots of the bulb world, tulips offer are more sizes, shapes and colors than you can imagine for any type of garden design scheme. They are an incredible source of inexpensive color for the garden. Almost every color in the spectrum is available except true blue. Intensity of the colors sometimes varies according to climate and even from one season to another. Divided into 15 divisions usually depending on shape, bloom time or heritage.Plant 4x their height deep (8"-10" for regular sized tulips; 4"-6" for small tulips); 12+cm bulbs unless otherwise noted. DOUBLE LATE TULIPS are defined by the RGBA as: "Double flowered cultivars; late flowering. Mainly long stemmed." Rose- or peony- shaped flowers that provide a lot of focal impact in the late spring garden; good for protected bedding and cut flowers; 5 per sq. ft; whz 3-8.
