Spectacular borders with tulips and crown imperial

A combination of tulips and crown imperials (Fritillaria imperialis), two bulbous plants known for their dazzling flowers in a variety of colours and shapes, creates a breathtaking border. Not only does this mix of bulbs produce a beautiful display, it also guarantees prolonged flowering from early spring until well into May.

Spectacular borders

These spectacular borders, planted with a mix of tulips and crown imperials, form the perfect centrepiece for any garden. With their vibrant colours and striking flower shapes, the brightly coloured tulips and majestic flowers of Fritillaria imperialis create a dazzling display.

Flowering period of tulips and imperial crowns

Another important advantage of these bulbs is their long flowering period. Tulips and imperial crowns will flower from early to late spring, and brighten up the garden with beautiful colours throughout almost the entire spring season.

Low maintenance

What’s more, tulips and crown imperials are easy to grow and maintain, making them ideal for experienced and novice gardeners alike. Tulips should be planted at a depth of three times their bulb height, and Fritillaria at twice their bulb height. Water them after planting, and let nature do its work!

Garden, patio or balcony

Whether you have a small city garden, a spacious garden or a terrace, combining tulips and Fritillaria imperialis will transform your outdoor space into a fragrant and colourful oasis. Plant them in pots or planters on your terrace, in a border or along a garden path to create an inviting place where you can relax and enjoy the season.
