Bring a touch of citrusy sunshine to your spring garden with Tulip ‘Orange Marmalade’. This stunning tulip produces large, cup-shaped blooms that are a blend of orange, red, and yellow, with a distinctive green stripe running down the center of each petal. The flowers are borne on strong stems that reach up to 40cm/16″ tall, making them perfect for cut flower arrangements.
Tulip ‘Orange Marmalade’ is a Viridiflora tulip, which means that it has green markings on its petals. This makes the flowers look even more vibrant and eye-catching. The green stripes also help to prolong the vase life of the flowers, making them a great choice for floral displays.
