Tulipa ‘Van Eijk’ is a Darwin hybrid tulip. These are all single-flowered and brightly coloured varieties, with long-lasting flowers on strong stems. Unlike many tulip cultivars, Darwin hybrids usually flower again for several years after they were first planted, making them more reliable than other options.
‘Van Eijk’ has vibrant, dark pink-red, weather-resistant blooms. It’s a great option for growing in containers and herbaceous borders, and works well when grown with other tulips. It makes an excellent cut flower.
