If you like big, impressive and colorful, El Nino is the Tulip for you. She is just as big and impressive as her sister, the slightly more famous Elegant Lady, which shows somewhat softer colors.
They are by far the largest tulips we offer. Not only are they at the top in terms of height, the flower size is also unmatched. The beauty of El Nino, and also of Elegant Lady, is that despite their enormous size they do not compromise on elegance. They keep their graceful beauty until the last day of their long flowering. A ripe flower of El Nino that opens in the sunlight shows a spectacular display of color and size.
It is interesting to know that El Nino is Spanish for 'the little boy', but I suspect that this impressive Tulip El Nino is named after the rare natural phenomenon in which the water of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru becomes warmer than normal, causing prolonged rain in South America.
Tulips
Of all bulbs, the tulip is the best known. Tulip bulbs are widely traded and even play a role in Dutch history. The plant was introduced in the Golden Age in our country.
Planting tulips:
They thrive in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Tulips hate wet feet and require well-drained soil. Never plant tulips in a single row; for best results, plant them in groups of at least 15-20 bulbs. They also make excellent container plants and are great as cut flowers.
