Description

Tulip 'Love Dance' is a new variety of lily-flowered tulips with intensely curled fuchsia pink petals, streaked with green. It will be sensational in a vase or in flower beds, whether used alone or mixed with other violet, pink or white varieties. Its unique flowers are perched on a slender 50cm (20in) tall stem, which is sturdy enough to withstand bad weather. It blooms quite late, in April-May depending on the climate.

 

The lily-flowered tulip 'Love Dance' belongs to the lily family. It is a recent cultivar developed in the Netherlands, alongside the 'Purple Dance' and 'Green Dance' varieties. It is classified in division 6 of horticultural tulips, the main characteristics of this category are as follows: they bear single flowers and bloom in the second half of spring, the cups are narrow and the pointed petals open in a star shape. Each flower of 'Love Dance' blooms in a deep fuchsia pink, streaked with green, in the manner of viridiflora tulips. This variety will reach a height of 30 to 40cm (12 to 16in) when in bloom. The flowering takes place at the end of April or beginning of May. The foliage is thinner than that of other tulips. Each solitary flower is supported by a slender stem that is resistant to bad weather.

 

Lily-flowered tulips, created at the beginning of the 20th century, were very popular with our grandmothers, but then fell somewhat into oblivion. They are now being rediscovered, revamped, bold and well adapted to our contemporary settings. The lily-flowered tulip 'Love Dance' finds its place in well-ordered large flower beds. Since its flowering is late, it allows for maximum duration of flowering in the flower beds. It pairs particularly well with shades of pink, blue, purple and white. It can be planted in a traditional border or flower bed, as well as in pots and containers. It goes perfectly with tall perennials and is ideal for creating elegant bouquets. When in a vase, only use a very small amount of water, a shallow amount is enough. Additionally, if your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase each day. Many varieties of lily-flowered tulips are grown for forcing and produce cut flowers for a large part of the year.

Planting and care

Place the 'Love Dance' tulips in a sunny or partially shaded spot from September to December for spring flowering. Plant the bulbs in a light, fertile, and well-drained soil, and loosen it to a depth of 15cm (6in). Space the bulbs 15cm (6in) apart without touching each other to create a mass effect that will give a more decorative appearance. The care required is very easy. Simply water regularly, especially during dry winters, and cut the flower stems after flowering. Allow the leaves to dry completely before cutting them and provide a balanced liquid fertilizer every week during the first month.
