Tulipa 'Lighting Sun' Bulb

Tulipa 'Lighting Sun' is a striking Darwin Hybrid tulip that brings a vibrant splash of colour to late spring gardens. Introduced in 1985, this variety features large, goblet-shaped flowers with brilliant marigold-orange petals, overlaid with a subtle coral and pink sheen, and a golden-yellow base that adds warmth and depth to its appearance. The blooms are held on strong, upright stems, making them ideal for borders, containers, and cut flower arrangements. Flowering in mid to late spring, 'Lighting Sun' thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, preferring a warm and fertile spot to naturalise effectively. Its robust nature ensures it returns year after year, naturalising well in suitable conditions. The bold colouring and elegant form make 'Lighting Sun' a cherished choice for gardeners seeking to add a dramatic and refined element to their spring displays.
