'Orca' Tulip Bulbs, Double Early

Tulipa Orca Bulbs

The Double Early Tulip 'Orca' is blazing orange for no messing about brightness. The double petals resemble a blowsy frivolous peony, and the stocky stems ground the display even in pretty windy conditions.

The mid grey green, lance shaped leaves complement the glowing flowers.

Unusually in the tulip world, Orca also has a clear, light fragrance.

Orca Tulips in your Garden

Think jazzy coloured pots on the terrace, tubs on the patio or even window boxes, especially a window that you open so that you can enjoy their smell.

Pair Orca up with medium size ornamental grasses for a backdrop, and contrast with tulips like Monte Carlo, Diana and Candy Prince for a sizzling effect.

Orca makes a sensational cut flower.

As with all double flowers, which lack food for insects, mix with single and dwarf tulip varieties to support butterflies and bees in your garden.
