There is no doubt that the name Sugar Crystal suits this Tulip, all sweetness. This beautiful Tulip is grown on the unique nursery of John and Raymond Huijg in Breezand, North Holland. The 'unique' thing about their nursery is that the two brothers only grow Tulips that they have developed themselves .
The founder of their beautiful Tulip assortment was their father Hein Huijg (1931-2016). His name lives on in the flower bulb business. He was a striking man, everyone knew him, with a large and stocky build and very strong with hands that were as big as coal shovels due to the hard work.
I liked him, he always said what he thought, straight to the point and a heart of gold. Always nice stories about the past or the present, a visit to old 'Sir Henry' (as he was called by his English bulb friends) was never boring. The most memorable is his story that he could remember as if it were yesterday how he saw an orange for the first time as an 18 year old boy and was also allowed to eat it, such things can no longer be imagined today.
Many of the Tulips from the well-known breeding stable of the Huijg family are very worthwhile: Snow Crystal , Crispion Sweet , Fly Away , and the fantastic mixture Family Reunion are all from their hand and you can find all these beautiful Tulips in our webshop. But this Tulip 'Sugar Crystal' is in my eyes one of their masterpieces.

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.
