Tulipa 'Orange Emperor' | Orange Emperor Fosteriana Tulip

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Tulipa ‘Orange Emperor’ produces large, cup-shaped flowers in clear orange tones. The blossoms are single in form, opening broadly with smooth, slightly pointed petals that give the flowers a clean, open profile. Blooming occurs in early to mid spring, when the flowers expand fully and hold their shape well in cool seasonal conditions.

This cultivar belongs to the Fosteriana, a class known for robust early-season performance and bold floral presentation. ‘Orange Emperor’ was developed through Dutch breeding programs and introduced as part of a long-established lineage of Emperor tulips selected for strong color, reliable flowering, and substantial blooms that perform consistently in spring displays.
