Description
The 'Royal Acres' Double Tulip has a beautiful, double, vibrant flower that resembles a peony in both its deep pink colour and the silky appearance of its petals, as well as its very pleasant fragrance. It blooms in early spring, carried by a short but sturdy stem that withstands harsh weather conditions. The strong presence of this tulip, almost fuchsia pink in full sun, will be tempered in partial shade, adding just the necessary touch of colour to a border at a time of year when flowers are not as abundant. For example, you can combine it with forget-me-nots, as in Monnet's garden in Giverny.
The 'Royal Acres' Tulip, introduced in the Netherlands in 2008, belongs to the Liliaceae family. Originally cultivated, it is currently classified in the group of early double tulips, whose main characteristic is to all bloom at the same height, making them a popular choice for well-arranged flowerbeds. They are often offered in a mix of colours under the name 'Murillo' tulips. Perched on the sturdy stems of 35-40cm (14-16in), above the broadly lanceolate leaves with a slightly glaucous green colour, the double cup-shaped flowers, beautifully formed, are fully open on a yellow centre. Their deep pink colour darkens slightly over time, revealing violet and silver reflections, almost metallic, on the slightly incurved edges of the petals. Flowering takes place in April-May, in the heart of the tulip season.
With their variety of colours, sturdy and resistant flowers, suitable for both flowerbeds and bouquets, the popularity of early single tulips is well established. They are unmatched for bringing the colours of spring to pots or sunny gardens. When designing your flowerbeds, don't forget to consider the height and flowering period, as these parameters vary significantly from one cultivar to another. For example, try combining the pastel tulips 'Mount Tacoma' (white) and 'Angélique' (pink) with the deeper colour of 'Royal Acres'. It is wise to plant a few more bulbs for cutting, as they make beautiful cut flowers that last a long time in a vase.

Planting and care
Plant your double 'Royal Acre' tulips as soon as possible in a well-drained soil. Loosen the soil deeply. Plant at a depth of 15cm (6in) (Bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs a few cm apart, making sure they do not touch each other. Choose a sunny location for better flowering. After flowering, cut the flower stems and allow the leaves to dry completely before cutting them. After flowering, their foliage becomes unsightly and faded. We recommend planting Heucheras, Tiarelles, Brunneras, Bleeding Hearts, Cyparissus Spurge at the forefront of your flower beds. Their foliage will enhance the colours of your tulips and during the season, they will elegantly conceal their yellowed leaves. Please review the translation for any potential mistakes.

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).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
