Mystic Van Eijk is a coral pink with deep pink, apricot and rose purple undertones. Mystic Van Eijk is a Darwin Hybrid; the Darwin tulips are known and loved for their extra-large and long-lasting blooms, and they make excellent cut flowers. This variety is always a staple of our spring gardens. If you want to perennialize your tulips, it’s important to leave at least two sets of leaves on the stem when harvesting to replenish the bulb and give it energy to bloom the following season. Here at Dahlia May, we grow our tulips for cut flower production, meaning that we treat them as annuals and pull up the entire plant, including the bulb, during harvest. In your home garden, there is no need to lift the bulb in the spring after flowering. Allow the foliage of your plant to die back naturally after blooming, as this process helps nourish the bulb for the subsequent year. We find that many specialty tulips do not typically perenialize well in the garden. You'll be able to enjoy their blooms for one spring, and blooming in any subsequent years can be a wonderful bonus.
