Description

The late Single Tulip 'Dordogne', in the lineage of the variety 'Avignon', displays a vibrant and warm colour like a summer sun. This tulip produces a beautiful flower with a classic shape, where intense orange and salmon pink blend gradually with mandarin orange on the edges of the petals. It is borne on a tall and sturdy stem. This is an award-winning variety in England and particularly appreciated by landscaping professionals blooming at the end of the tulip season, in May. Its flowers are particularly long-lasting.

The 'Dordogne' Tulip is a cultivar obtained in 1991 in the Netherlands, which was awarded a medal in 2015 by the Royal Horticultural Society. It belongs to the Liliaceae family. Of horticultural origin, it is currently classified in Division 5, whose main characteristic is late flowering. It will reach a height of 65 cm (26in) when in bloom. Perched on stems well above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the large flowers are cup-shaped, elegant, and of a vibrant hue. The interior of the flower, yellow, has a red midline and golden yellow stamens. The flowering takes place in May - June, making it useful in the garden.

The late single tulip 'Dordogne', like all its sisters, is unrivaled in bringing colour and charm to the garden. It finds its place in large beds, alongside perennials such as peonies or perennial delphiniums. They also help to maximise the duration of flowering in the beds. It can also be planted in borders, rockeries, flower beds, as well as in pots and containers. This tulip also beautifies balconies and terraces. It is ideal for creating elegant bouquets. In a vase, only use very little water, a centimetre at the bottom is enough! Moreover, if your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase every day.

Planting and care

Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to December, at a depth of 15 cm (6in), spacing them 10 cm (4in) apart. The planting should be done in ordinary soil, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline, loose, well-worked, and well-drained. Never add undecomposed manure or compost to the planting soil, as this could cause the bulbs to rot. The 'Dordogne' tulip will thrive in moist to dry soil in summer. Plant it in a sunny or partially shaded location. Once flowering is over, it is preferable to remove the fruit to avoid exhausting the plant.
