Tulip Carnaval de Nice bulbs are premium-quality flowering bulbs, carefully selected to ensure healthy growth, strong stems, and breathtaking blooms. Each bulb is cultivated from high-grade stock, guaranteeing reliability and beauty in every garden setting.
This striking tulip variety is best known for its bold, double flowers that resemble peonies. The large blooms open into layers of crisp white petals, streaked dramatically with scarlet-red markings that appear almost hand-painted. Every flower is slightly different, adding a unique artistic quality to each plant. When planted en masse, they create a dazzling display that transforms spring borders into living works of art.
Carnaval de Nice flowers in mid-to-late spring, bringing a burst of colour and character when many early tulips are already fading. The blooms are long-lasting, allowing gardeners to enjoy their dramatic beauty throughout the season. Their sturdy stems are strong enough to hold the heavy, layered flowers upright, even in variable spring weather, making them both resilient and reliable.
Tulip Carnaval de Nice bulbs measure approximately 10–12 cm in circumference, ensuring strong, healthy plants and reliable blooms. Once grown, they reach an average height of 40–50 cm, tall enough to make an impact in borders yet versatile enough for containers and pots.
The flowers themselves are large and double, with blooms measuring up to 10 cm across when fully open. Their distinctive red-and-white streaks create a bold, carnival-like effect, while their layered, peony-style petals add volume and richness. Each bloom is unique, making them especially striking when planted in groups.
For best planting results, bulbs should be spaced around 8–10 cm apart and planted at a depth of 10–15 cm. This spacing ensures healthy root development and an even display. Their strong stems provide excellent support, holding up the heavy blooms and making them equally suited for cutting and indoor arrangements.
