Tulip Pistache is not named for her lovely appearance but in fact her fragrance! She smells like almonds, almost something like pistachio nuts… and as she did not yet have a name, we came up with it on the spot: ‘Pistache’.

👩🌾 CARE
All spring-flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall.
Most tulips are good for horticultural zones 3 through 7. The optimal planting time is when night-time temperatures are 4-10 C (40-50 F), and soil temperatures are 13 C (55 F) or below.
In warmer climates, chill bulbs in the refrigerator (NOT the freezer) in darkness for 10-14 weeks before planting, starting mid-October. In horticultural zone 7, you can even pre-chill your bulbs for 8-10 weeks in case of mild winter. Flower bulbs require consistent temperatures during the pre-chilling period.
