Tulip Ballerina is an award-winning and a very popular tulip type! This gorgeous lily-shaped tulip has all the essential qualities of a perfect tulip – a stunning orange colour with yellow margins, a delightful scent and can be planted in the garden, in the flowerpot or used as cut flowers! This tulip loves full sunlight and a medium moisture soil. For a spectacular visual effect, try planting them in small groups!

This tulip effortlessly naturalizes on its own for many years to come. Ballerina blooms in late spring (in May) and grows quite tall, 45-55 cm. When the flowers are fully open, they resemble dazzling six pointed stars!
