Description

Ordinary tulips simply do not have the glamour and sheen of this long-time favorite. Ben van Zanten is justly famous for its rich red color and mostly, its unique shine. The petals are literally luminescent, creating a shimmering effect almost no other flower can match. No spring garden should be without this beauty.

Comments about American Meadows Triumph Tulip Bulbs Ben van Zanten - Bag of 10:

I bought a variety of tulips this year and this was the first to bloom. The flowers are a very rich and bright red, and were some of the prettiest in the garden. They also looked good as cut flowers in a vase on the dinner table. I planted them in a big container with other tulips and these were the strongest growers. I also used the bulb fertilizer sold here and I think that helped the growing process. I would recommend this flower to anyone!

Planted the bulbs in late January (in the high desert -- it was pretty cold but the sandy ground wasn't frozen). They're already popping up in late March.
