We owe this bright large Tulip to Tulip breeder IJsbrand de Jong, who lives in the Noordoostpolder. His aim was to breed a Tulip that is completely resistant to diseases so that no more chemical agents are needed during cultivation. For decades he has been busy transferring resistances from wild Tulips to modern Tulips. A very long road with many disappointing results. One time the flowers were not worth looking at and the next time diseases still appeared during the continued cultivation.
But suddenly there was Novi Sun, a beautiful early flowering Tulip that is not affected by viruses and fungi.
In the future I will come across this Tulip often because it will be grown on a large scale. I wanted to buy it much earlier, but every time bulbs came on the market, the bulbs were quickly bought up by other growers to broaden and improve their Tulip assortment with Novi Sun. But we managed to get a few.
Novi Sun is an excellent Tulip for the garden with the allure of a Sunflower. When its flower buds are still small they already start to color and during its long flowering they grow into radiant large and beautifully shaped Tulip flowers.

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.
