The Double 'Diversen 17th Century' Tulip is a variety with light pink flowers punctuated with bright pink, forming a very harmonious ensemble. With its double flowers, this variety will illuminate the garden in spring and create beautiful colorful bouquets. Bulbs should be planted in autumn for flowering in April.
The Tulip is a bulbous plant that has become essential in the garden, easy to cultivate and adaptable to all climates. There are about a hundred species and several thousand cultivars of tulips, allowing for a great diversity of shapes and colors. The flowers, appearing between March and May depending on the varieties, open during the day and close in the evening. The leaves are lanceolate, generally medium green and sometimes variegated.
Among the many species, we generally distinguish botanical tulips from domestic tulips (or garden tulips). The latter are derived from Tulipa gesneriana and are classified into 14 families. For example, there are single or double tulips (such as the 'Diversen 17th Century' variety here), early or late tulips, Triumph tulips, Darwin tulips, Fleur de Lys tulips, Parrot tulips... Garden tulips generally have large flowers and long stems, making them ideal for beautiful bouquets.
In the garden, tulips will be perfect for illuminating a flower bed, combined with crocuses, hyacinths, daffodils, pansies, muscari... They can also be planted in the middle of a short grass meadow, creating a beautiful colour effect in spring. For planting in pots, choose early varieties with shorter stems.

Botanical data
Tulip bulbs are planted from October to mid-December for spring flowering. Plant them in a sunny or partially shaded location, in a sheltered spot. Tulips appreciate rich, well-drained soil and can tolerate dry soil in the summer. If your soil is very clayey, incorporate some sand into the soil before planting or place a few gravel stones at the bottom of the planting hole.
Work the soil deeply and remove unwanted weeds or rocks. Dig a hole using a bulb planter and bury the bulbs, pointy end up, two to three times their height. Space the bulbs about 10cm (4in) apart. Bulbs can be planted individually or in groups of 5 to 10 for a beautiful colour effect. You can either place them one by one on the ground or "scatter" them on the ground for a more natural effect in flower beds. Lightly water after planting.
For container planting, provide drainage at the bottom of the pot (clay pebbles or gravel) and then place the bulbs in a mixture of potting soil, topsoil, and a little bit of sand. Add a small amount of compost when flowering.
Tulips require little maintenance. Water if necessary in spring. Remove faded flowers to avoid exhausting the bulb. After flowering, allow the foliage to naturally die off and only cut it when it turns yellow, to promote the accumulation of new reserves in the bulb.
Unlike botanical tulips, large-flowered tulips will degenerate after 2 to 3 years if left in the ground. You can choose to leave them in place and renew them regularly. If you want to extend the flowering period, dig up the bulbs when the foliage is dry. Remove the soil around the bulbs and then store them in a cool, dry, and dark place. Plant them again in the following autumn.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
