I know a nice story about this beautiful little tulip. Danique is grown by Van Lierop in Anna Paulowna, who has many more of these beautiful, multi-flowered miniature tulips. Every year I like to go and have a look and so it happened that one Sunday afternoon I wanted to show my American customer Harley, from the company Colorblends, these interesting garden tulips.
The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed it immensely because in addition to the Danique, the Clusiana mixture , the Tinka , the Lady Jane , the Garden of Clusius , the Hilde and many other of these breathtaking miniature tulips were also in full bloom.
It was so beautiful that Harley literally skipped between the hundreds of thousands of blooming flowers. Harley stays in a tourist cottage during his annual visit and we had just done some shopping to restock his kitchen cupboards. So it happened that we suddenly opened a bottle of wine and saw ourselves sitting in the middle of that beautiful sea of flowers drinking a glass of wine from a freshly used coffee cup. This was really a moment to frame, what a joy it was.
But oh dear, suddenly a big car drove into the field at full speed. It was one of the partners, Wim van Lierop, who thought that a few hippies were partying among his Tulips. When Wim came closer and saw that it was us, he slowed down a bit but he still came to see if we weren't making a mess. Sorry Wim, Ron knows we're here, but we liked it so much that we couldn't resist taking the cork off the bottle of wine and enjoying this wonder of the world for a while. Also a glass of wine? He declined, his wife was in the car and they had agreed to visit friends. He wished us much fun, as long as we were careful among his Tulips.
Wim is unfortunately no longer with us, but his son Ron can still tell me in great detail how his father asked him the next day if Carlos was okay. Wasn't he drinking? He was just sitting with a friend in the middle of the day drinking wine between our tulips. Ron and I can still enjoy it, beautiful memories of his father.
But now about the Tulip Danique; little to add to the photos. Simply a very terribly fantastically beautiful Tulip. When it blooms, have a glass of wine and enjoy it.

Planting and caring for tulip bulbs
Plant tulip bulbs in autumn in a sunny or lightly shaded position with well-drained soil. Place the bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards at a depth of approximately two to three times the height of the bulb. Leave around 8 to 10 cm between the bulbs.
Plant tulips in groups for a colourful and natural effect. They are also ideal for containers and make wonderful cut flowers. Allow the foliage to yellow naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy.
Read our complete guide to when and how to plant and care for tulip bulbs.
You can order tulip bulbs from us from early spring onwards for the following planting season. We deliver the bulbs in autumn so they arrive at the right time for planting.
Flowering time varies by variety. By combining early, mid-season and late-flowering tulips, you can enjoy tulips in bloom for much of the spring.
That depends on the effect you want to create. In our range, you can choose from shorter and taller tulips, cut-flower tulips, tulips for pots and a variety of tulip mixes.
We supply our tulips in the largest bulb size and with a flowering guarantee. High-quality bulbs give the tulip a strong starting point for growth and flowering.
It depends on the variety. Some tulips are reliable perennial bloomers and can perform well for several years, while others are mainly planted for their first spring display. Check the characteristics of the individual variety when choosing.
Yes. Combining early, mid-season and late-flowering varieties can extend the flowering period and bring colour to the garden throughout a larger part of spring.
