Value-for-money
A sparkling, contrasting, but classy flower! The flower of this recent tulip, pleasantly scented, displays a pearly white colour devoured by a wide pink margin ending at the tip of the petals in a deep and vibrant pink, creating a quite spectacular two-tone mass effect in borders and bouquets. Excellent cut flower. These tulips are becoming rare in our gardens and are worth rediscovering.

Description

The 'Romano' Tulip is a recent variety of lily-flowered tulip that stands out from afar with its sparkling bicolour flowers. The lily flower of this tulip, pleasantly scented, displays a pearly white colour devoured by a wide dragee pink border ending at the tip of the petals with a margin of deep and vibrant pink. These flowers, planted en masse, as twins and identical, offer a stunning sight when they timidly open their gracefully recurved pointed petals. For a late tulip, it persists quite well in the garden and allows for charming bouquets to be made. It is urgent to rediscover these beautiful lily-flowered tulips, which our grandmothers loved so much but have unfortunately become rare in our gardens.

 

The 'Romano' lily-flowered tulip, introduced in 2011, belongs to the lily family.  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, the pointed tepals are recurved at opening and open up to 8cm (3in) wide. During the day, these flowers become spidery and widely open. They were created at the beginning of the 20th century. This variety will reach approximately 50cm (20in) in height when flowering. 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 stem that appears delicate but is resistant to bad weather.

 

The 'Romano' lily-flowered tulip finds its place in large flower beds. Its freshness allows for associations with tulips in white or red tones. This also maximizes the flowering duration of the flower beds. Pair it with Corsican hellebores and Euphorbias to create surprising scenes. It can also be planted in borders, rockeries, flower beds, as well as in pots and containers. It perfectly accompanies tall perennials and is ideal for creating elegant bouquets. In a vase, use very little water, just a bottom is enough! Furthermore, if your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase every 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

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