"A wanna-have among miniature Tulips. What a nice and special little Tulip. The Alba Coerulea Oculata is a rare form of the species Tulipa humilis. The species Tulips humilis has sometime some variation in her colour and very seldom you might find a white one.
Over the last century only a few are found and this Alba Coerulea Oculata is the most reliable one for the garden. She was introduced by the late flower bulb merchant Van Tubergen who found her in Iran in the early nineteen hundreds. For a long she has been on the market under the name Tulipa pulchella Alba but nowadays her official name is Tulip humilis Alba Coerulea Oculata.
Do not plant her in direct sunlight, she doesn’t fancy the heat. Her leaves will shrivel when she is in full sun at midday. Try to find her a somewhat cooler spot in the garden, not too dark but also not too sunny."

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.

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.
