Tulip Pink Magic

The bulbs of this beautiful tulip should be planted in the autumn, ideally between September and November, before the ground freezes. Correct planting depth is very important, and for the 'Pink Magic' variety, it should be between 10 and 15 centimeters. Plant the bulbs with the tip facing upwards into well-drained soil. If you have heavier clay soil, I recommend adding a little sand under the bulb for better drainage.

Since the 'Pink Magic' variety is a short-lived perennial, its bulbs tend to pull themselves deeper into the ground after a few years and bloom less effectively. To maintain beautiful and abundant flowers, I recommend lifting the bulbs from the soil every 2 to 3 years in the summer (after the leaves have completely dried). Clean them, store them in a dry place, and replant them in the autumn in a new location with fresh nutrients.

Tulips generally aren't particularly demanding when it comes to watering, and the Pink Magic variety only requires moderate moisture. In spring, the natural moisture from winter precipitation and melting snow is usually sufficient. However, if the spring is very dry, you can water them slightly. Always ensure that the soil dries out between waterings, as overwatering can cause rot.

For the best visual effect, I recommend planting the bulbs 10 to 15 centimeters apart. If you are planning a mass planting and want to create a rich carpet of flowers, count on roughly 100 bulbs per square meter. Such dense planting will create a stunning spectacle in the spring, full of fringed blossoms.

The hardiness of this variety is absolutely fantastic! The Pink Magic tulip is highly frost-resistant (zone 3a) and can withstand temperatures dropping as low as -40 °C. This means that after autumn planting, you do not need to take any special measures to protect or cover the bulbs with evergreen boughs. They will survive the winter in our region without any problems and without any further help from you.

After flowering, it is very important to pinch off the remaining flower head (the seed pod) so the plant does not exhaust itself by producing seeds, but instead stores all its energy back into the bulb for the next season. However, you must leave the green leaves and stem on the plant until they naturally turn yellow and dry out completely. Only then can you remove them.

If your bulbs arrive before it is time to plant them, it is crucial to store them correctly. Store the premium-sized 11/12 bulbs you receive from us in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place, ideally in a paper bag or an open crate. Avoid damp basements or sealed plastic bags entirely, as mold can develop quickly there.

Definitely! We supply our customers with premium-quality bulbs in size 11/12, which are among the largest available on the market. A large, healthy bulb contains a store of enormous amounts of energy and nutrients, which means it will grow into a much stronger plant that produces significantly larger and fuller blooms in the spring.

There may be several reasons for this, but the most common is bulb rot over the winter due to soil that is too wet and poorly drained. Another very common cause is soil rodents (such as voles or moles), for which tulip bulbs are a sought-after winter food. Planting at the wrong depth can also be a problem.

Although this tulip with its fringed petals is amazing in fresh bouquets, it is unfortunately not at all suitable for drying. Tulip petals contain a large amount of water and lose both their shape and their wonderful peach color if you attempt to dry them. I therefore recommend enjoying them to the fullest as a fresh decoration.

The 'Pink Magic' variety was bred primarily for its wonderful fringed shape and delicate color, but it is not among the aromatic cultivars. It also does not belong to the group of plants that massively attract pollinators, so you are highly unlikely to attract bees or butterflies to it. Its main advantage is its stunning visual beauty.

The 'Pink Magic' tulip is one of the spring beauties that will delight you with its blooms during April and May. The flower is a true feast for the eyes, with a color that transitions smoothly between soft light pink and warm peach. What makes this tulip truly exceptional, however, are the distinctively fringed edges of the petals, which give it an unusual and elegant flair.

Yes, this tulip is made for cutting! Thanks to its height of 30 to 45 centimeters and sturdy stems, it is perfectly suited for spring bouquets. The light pink and peach shades combined with the fringed edges of the petals look absolutely luxurious in a vase. I recommend cutting the flowers early in the morning while they are still slightly closed to ensure they last as long as possible.

The 'Pink Magic' tulip thrives best in full sun or light partial shade. Plenty of sunlight ensures that its peach and light pink flowers will be beautifully colored and the stems sufficiently sturdy. The soil should be well-drained above all, as the bulbs can easily rot in waterlogged ground.

Certainly! 'Pink Magic' is perfectly suited for containers because it does not require support and grows to an ideal, compact height. However, it is essential to choose a container with drainage holes and place a high-quality drainage layer at the bottom so that the bulbs never sit in water. Place the pots in a sheltered location against the house facade during winter.
