Tulip Orange Marmelade is a standout viridiflora tulip with real presence in the spring garden. The flowers open in warm shades of mandarin orange and apricot, each petal brushed and flamed with fresh green that runs from the base upward. As with the best viridiflora tulips, that green remains visible throughout the bloom, giving the flower depth, contrast, and a look that changes slightly as it matures. This variety belongs to the Viridiflora tulip group, known for strong stems, excellent substance, and long lasting flowers. Orange Marmelade blooms in mid to late spring and holds its shape well, even during cooler or unsettled weather. The blooms are upright and elegant rather than overly open, which makes them just as attractive in the garden as they are in a vase. Color is where this tulip really shines. The orange tones are rich but not harsh, softened by the green and subtle yellow undertones. It pairs beautifully with purples, soft pinks, creams, and fresh spring greens, and it adds warmth to mixed borders without overpowering nearby plants. We offer Viridiflora Tulip Orange Marmelade as top sized tulip bulbs. Bulb size matters. Larger bulbs produce taller stems, fuller flowers, and more reliable performance in the first season.
