Description
The greigii 'Toronto' botanical Tulip is a variety with coral-coloured, orange-pink flowers, with marbled purple foliage. It reaches a height of about 25 cm (10in). It is a several-flowered variety, with each bulb producing 3 to 5 flowers. Botanical tulips can remain in the ground and will flower for many years. Bulbs should be planted in autumn for an early April flowering.
The Tulip is a bulbous plant that has become essential in gardens, easy to cultivate and adaptable to all climates in Europe. It belongs to the Liliaceae family. There are about a hundred species and several thousand cultivars of tulips, allowing for a wide diversity of shapes and colours. The flowers, which appear between March and May depending on the varieties, open during the day and close in the evening. The leaves are lanceolate, usually medium green, sometimes variegated as is the case with the greigii 'Toronto' variety. Among the numerous species, botanical tulips are generally distinguished from domestic tulips (or garden tulips), the latter being derived from the Tulipa gesneriana.
Botanical tulips include wild tulips (except for domestic tulips that may have reverted to the wild) and the hybridisations that have resulted from them. These are small-sized species that can remain in the ground for several years and easily naturalise. They adapt to all environments, including poor soils and rockeries.
In the garden, tulips will be perfect for illuminating a flowerbed, combined with crocuses, hyacinths, daffodils, pansies, muscari... They can also be planted in the middle of a short grass meadow, creating a beautiful colour effect in spring. Due to their small size, botanical tulips are also suitable for planting in pots or containers.

Planting and care
Tulip bulbs are planted from October to mid-December for flowering in spring. Plant them in full sun or possibly in partial shade. Tulips appreciate rich, well-drained soils and can tolerate dry soils in summer. If your soil is very clayey, incorporate some sand into the soil before planting or place a few pebbles at the bottom of the planting hole. Botanical tulips are hardy and also thrive in poor soils or rockeries.
Work the soil deeply and remove unwanted weeds or stones. Dig a hole with a bulb planter and bury the bulbs, pointed end up, two to three timesdeeper than their height. Space the bulbs about 10 cm (4in) apart. Bulbs can be planted individually or in groups of 5 to 10 for a beautiful colour effect. You can arrange them one by one on the ground or "scatter" them on the ground for a more natural effect in flower beds. Lightly water after planting.
For pot planting, provide drainage at the bottom of the pot (clay pellets or gravel) and then place the bulbs in a mixture of potting soil, topsoil, and a little sand. Add a small amount of compost during flowering.
Tulips require little maintenance. Water in spring if necessary. Remove faded flowers to avoid depleting the bulb. After flowering, allow the foliage to die naturally and only cut it when it turns yellow to promote the accumulation of new reserves in the bulb.
Botanical tulips can remain in place for several years. The production of bulblets allows them to spread and naturalise, making them perennial. If the clumps become less floriferous, gently dig up the bulbs once the foliage has faded and divide the bulbs to replant them elsewhere in the garden.

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.
