Floral Harmony 'Cherry Blossoms' (Tulipa) is a blend of double tulips with full, romantic blooms displaying delicate shades of soft pink, powdered cream and light cherry pink. Their peony-like flower form adds rich texture and elegance to spring landscapes. Its mid-spring flowering period creates a gentle and refined atmosphere in beds, borders and containers. Strong stems support generous blooms that are also very suitable for fresh bouquets.

It prefers full sun to partial shade and light, fertile, well-drained soil. Bulbs are planted in fall, generally 12 to 15 cm (5 to 6 in) deep and spaced 10 cm (4 in) apart, before the ground freezes. Moderate watering after planting encourages good root establishment. It adapts well to Canadian gardens and requires little care when growing conditions are suitable.

This floral harmony is suitable for romantic beds, pastel borders, decorative containers and cut flower gardens. Its soft colours combine beautifully with white muscari, spring anemones or fragrant daffodils. It brings a poetic and elegant atmosphere to outdoor spaces. Its double flowers are especially valued for refined floral arrangements.

Growing method

Harmonie Florale 'Cherry Blossoms' brings together twelve Van Noort tulip bulbs in a multi-colored palette inspired by spring colors. The cup-shaped flowers stand tall in mid-spring on sturdy stems reaching approximately 30 cm (12 in). Presented in size 12/+, the bulbs form a coherent group in beds, borders, and large containers. Plant Cherry Blossoms in autumn, when the soil has cooled but is still workable. Choose full sun or very light shade and fertile, loose, and, most importantly, perfectly drained soil. Place the bulbs pointy side up at about two or three times their height, generally 12 to 18 cm (5 to 7 in), and space them 8 to 12 cm (3 to 5 in) apart. Water after planting to settle the soil, then let seasonal rainfall maintain moderate moisture. Avoid saturated soils and nitrogen-rich fertilizers, which weaken flowering. This maturation recharges the bulbs and improves their chances of returning, even if several horticultural tulips offer their best display in the first year. Group the twelve bulbs near an entrance, along a pathway, or in a dark container that will highlight the red and white. All parts, especially the bulbs, are toxic if ingested.

Seasonal care

After flowering, remove faded blooms and keep foliage until it naturally yellows. This allows bulbs to rebuild reserves before dormancy. Clean dry plant material once leaves have completely faded. Bulbs can remain in place for several years in well-drained soil.

Container growing

Recommended pot size

Container at least 30 cm (12 in) deep

Container gardening requires considering the necessary volume for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable planting medium. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding the plants to fill the pot immediately. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than planting in the ground. Therefore, from the outset, plan a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate. Plant tulips in the fall, in soil that is still easy to work before it freezes. Choose a sunny, well-drained location, then loosen the soil to a sufficient depth. Place the bulbs point-up and respect the planting depth indicated for their size. When planting in groups, leave space between the bulbs to allow the roots to develop. Water after backfilling if the soil is dry. Avoid areas where water remains on the surface after rain and mark the planting so as not to damage the bulbs during subsequent gardening work. In winter, protect the container according to the plant's needs: its roots are more exposed to cold than when planted in the ground.

Frequently asked questions

When should 'Cherry Blossoms' tulips be planted?

Plant tulips in the fall, in soil that is still easy to work before it freezes. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, then loosen the soil to an adequate depth. Place the bulbs point up and respect the planting depth indicated for their size. When planting in groups, leave space between the bulbs to allow the roots to develop. Water after backfilling if the soil is dry. Avoid areas where water remains on the surface after rain, and mark the planting site to avoid damaging the bulbs during subsequent gardening work. Keep a durable label to easily find this planting during its dormant period.

How tall do these tulips grow?

The recommended exposure is from full sun to partial shade. Observe the light at your chosen location in the morning and afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also, consider nearby plants: their foliage can obscure a young planting as it grows. In a container, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Suitable exposure must go hand in hand with appropriate soil and watering. If you are moving a plant started indoors to the outdoors, gradually accustom it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for the young leaves.

Are these tulips suitable for bouquets?

Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check under the surface before deciding whether to add more water: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at root level. Direct the water to the base and allow it to penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Containers generally require more frequent checks because they dry out faster. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any saucers that retain water. Also adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a dormant period do not require the same amount of water.

Can 'Cherry Blossoms' be grown in containers?

Container gardening requires planning for the root volume and the final height of the plant. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a substrate suitable for planting. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the recommended exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than planting directly in the ground. Therefore, plan from the outset for a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and the climate of your region.

What exposure should be chosen?

In spring, monitor humidity during growth and water at the base if a dry period persists. Remove faded flowers while keeping the leaves that are still green. This foliage allows the bulb to replenish its reserves; wait for it to yellow naturally before cutting it and avoid braiding it. In containers, check for dryness more often than in the ground and always allow excess water to drain. Re-growth and flowering in subsequent years depend on the variety and growing conditions. Keep bulbs out of reach of children and animals: tulips are ornamental and should not be consumed.
