This special Humilis Alba Coerulea Oculata is a picture from our assortment. This beautiful white star-shaped tulip with its purple-blue heart steals the show. This miniature tulip should not be missing in your garden. Put several of them together with the Negrita tulip, for example, for a grand effect. For a long time, this Tulip was traded under another name Tulipa Pulchella Alba, but its official name is now Alba Coerulea Oculata. The growth height is 10 to 20 cm, give her a spot in full sun or a spot that includes semi-shade. You can pot her but not use her as a cut flower. She will be a real eye-catcher, with her elegant white exotic look and her purple-blue centre. She won the Award of Merit in 1989 from the R.H.S.

Other information

  • First loosen the soil well where the flower bulbs will be planted. Then the soil is easier to work with.
  • Dig a hole and make sure it is 2 to 3 times as deep as the height of the tulip bulbs.
  • For the distance between the bulbs, make sure it is 2 times the diameter of the bulbs.
  • Plant the flower bulbs in the hole with the pointed side facing up or with the root base facing down.
  • Cover the tulip bulbs with soil and water them well.
