Continental Tulip

Continental Tulip

Rich, deep colour that darkens the garden…in the very best way!

One look at Continental and you'll get all sorts of ideas about where to display it. Pair it with lighter blends in a mixed cutting garden, or plant a single-variety border and enjoy its dark and lovely purple-red hue on its own, letting you appreciate the touches of green that colour its supple petals. Continental adds a depth of colour to landscapes that brighter varieties just can't match. Perennializes well, too.

Important Shipping Notes:

Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.

We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
