A wonderful and big sun, a yellow aurora borealis rising ochre towards the sky, punctuated by orange filaments, this compensates for the reference errors I received, but ultimately the flowers are so beautiful (because there was no delay) but I planted in mid-January and it's in bloom as early as the end of March)!" Please note that I have made a few changes to improve the grammar and clarity of the translation.

Description

Tulipa 'Sundowner' is a double late tulip with a remarkable colour. Its large double flowers have yellow petals marked with green and margined with red. They bloom in April-May.

The flowers are perched on tall, sturdy stems that withstand harsh weather conditions. This new variety can reach 40cm (16in) in full bloom.

The double tulip fits perfectly in large flower beds. By combining it with other tulips, you can extend the flowering period. It can be used in borders, rockeries, flower beds, pots, and containers. This tulip beautifies balconies and patios. They are also lovely cut flowers. It pairs perfectly with tall perennials.

Planting and care

Ideally, plant the bulbs in a sunny spot from October to December for a beautiful spring flowering. You can also plant them in a partially shaded area. Plant the bulbs as soon as possible in light, fertile, and well-drained soil, to a depth of 15cm (6in) (the bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs 10cm (4in) apart (making sure they do not touch each other) to create a mass effect. Cut the flower stems after flowering. Allow the leaves to dry completely before cutting them.
