Description
Common Name: Fosteriana tulip, Emperor tulip ‘Sweet Sixteen’
One of the earliest pink Tulips to bloom in the Spring, this new hybrid opens warm ballerina-pink with paler edges and matures to luscious pale pink. As soon as the bud is set on the stem, it will bloom short, growing in height as it matures. It’s perfect for early border plantings.
Fosteriana tulips are also known as Emperor tulips thanks to their massive flowers. The bright blossoms of Fosteriana tulips are a traffic-stopping way to welcome spring. Plant a large bed of them near a patio, porch, or sidewalk where you are sure to see them and enjoy the colour they bring to the landscape after a long winter.
Bulbs require well drained soil. Will not perform well if soil holds too much water. Add sand or grit to the bottom of the hole to improve drainage.
