Tulip Double Early Mondial

The Tulip 'Mondial', 'Tulipa double early', is a fall planted bulb. As their name implies, double early tulips bloom early in the season with long lasting, rose like double flowers which open flat in the full sun. When planted in a compact group, these short stemmed tulips develop into a magnificent carpet of color. Combine them with early daffodils and hyacinths for a wonderful welcome to spring. These tulips bloom in early spring for a 3 week period. For the best effects, plant the bulbs in clusters of 5 to 15 bulbs of one variety, or scatter clusters throughout the garden or flower border. Tulips do best in well drained soil. It is advisable not to plant tulips in the same location in the garden year after year. If possible, plant in a somewhat sheltered location. Tulips are excellent for mass planting, rock gardens, containers and borders.
