Tulip Angelique
Double late (peony) group tulip with pale soft, pink flowers, flushed with paler and darker shades of pink, with lighter margins and, occasionally, green or yellow bases. Multiple gorgeous blooms per stem! Mid and late season flowering. Blooms are getting ready to open - new photos anyday now.
School Kid, Oct 2004, Dutch Gardens, 20 bulbs
CULTIVATION: Plant 6 inches deep and 4-5 inches apart. If perennial flowering is desired, apply a balanced fertilizer after planting. Deadhead after flowering. Allow the foliage to yellow for about 6 weeks after flowering before removing it. When growing water moderately, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer weekly for 3 or 4 weeks after flowering, keep dry in summer.
PROPAGATION: Separate offsets after lifting -- 6+ weeks after bloom, replant.
PESTS AND DISEASES: Root and bulb rots are common in wet or poorly drained soil. Gray mold, slugs, snails, aphids, and nematodes are problems.
