Tulipa Yellow Pomponette - Tulip

The Late Double Tulip 'Yellow Pomponette' is a recent variety belonging to the peony-flowered tulip series, notable for their large, fully double corollas that bloom a little later than others. This one offers a beautiful golden yellow hue softened with pearly reflections. It blooms between late April and early May, perched on a thick stem 35 cm high. This variety has received a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.

The Tulip 'Yellow Pomponette' belongs to the liliaceous family. Of horticultural origin, it is currently classified in the group of "Late Double Tulips," whose main characteristic is to present very double and crumpled flowers, carried by strong stems. 'Yellow Pomponette' is medium-sized (40 cm) and its flower is of a good size, double, cup-shaped, blooming somewhat like a florist's ranunculus. It shows excellent holding power. Its yellow colour is very uniform. It is a true favorite, especially when its buds slowly open in a vase, gradually shedding petals like a rain of pearly petals. The flowering begins relatively late, at the end of April or early May, when other tulips have long since faded.

Late double tulips, with their varied, soft or intense colours, and their opulent and delicate flowers, add fantasy and romance in pots or in sunny gardens. They harmonize beautifully with the most beautiful spring blooms and other tulips, whether pastel like 'Orange Angelique' and 'Maureen Double', or darker ones such as 'Queen of the Night'. When creating your flower beds, consider the height and flowering time, which vary greatly depending on the cultivars. For bouquet enthusiasts, it is recommended to plant a few extra bulbs, as these tulips hold up well in a vase. Pair 'Yellow Pomponette' with variegated cream-yellow foliage like that of Carex 'Evergold'.
