Tulip Annie Schilder

Tulip Annie Schilder is a rusty orange. This tulip would be close to the group of brown tulips that are currently very desirable, such as La Belle Epoque or Brown Sugar. And although that sounds strange you can see the variety of rich colours within this tulip are anything but brown. Ranging from purple to red to orange these tulips have a brilliant glow to them. They look great planted together for a truly unique spectacle.Tulip Annie Schilder is named after a Dutch pop singer. Maybe because these tulips really shine in the bright lights?

How to plant tulip bulbs

Tulip bulbs should be planted in a well-drained soil. Try not to over water them in winter but keep them moist during the growing season, once the foliage starts to show. When planting in pots we use a mixture of garden soil, grit and loam.  Plant tulip bulbs in a sunny or a slightly shaded position at about 10cm deep. You can plant up to 60-70 tulip bulbs per square metre. A pack of 25 tulips should cover 2-3 medium sized pots
