🍦 Ice Cream Tulip - Full pink flower with a white center

Five Ice Cream Tulip bulbs, in a packaging sleeve. This is a double tulip: the outer petals are a pink-red hue, and in the center, a full white dome of petals opens up - an appearance that resembles ice cream in a cone, hence the name.

Like all tulips in Israel, the Ice Cream tulip also needs 6-9 weeks of cooling in the fridge before planting. Plant between November and January, in a partially shaded, wind-protected spot, and the bloom arrives about two months after planting - usually in February-March.

🍦 Why Ice Cream Tulip?

🍦
Unique shape

A double and full flower, with a white center that opens within pink petals.

🌷
Different from the usual tulip

For those who already know the classic tulip and want a different flower shape.

🪴
Beautiful in a pot

Five bulbs in one pot create a group that can be observed up close.

✂️
Also for a vase

A full and rich flower, that also looks good in a small bouquet.

📍 Where to plant?

Important: The flower is double and heavy. A spot protected from wind and heavy rain helps the stems stay upright.

🪴 Pot

With a drainage hole

🌿 Planter

Near a window or railing

🌤️ Sheltered balcony

Without noon sun

🏡 Flower bed

In a group, wind-protected

⚠️ Avoid: Strong noon sun, wind-exposed areas, wet soil without drainage, and planting without pre-cooling.

🌱 Planting and Care

❄️
Cooling

6-9 weeks in the fridge, at ~5°C, in a paper bag or mesh.
Not in the freezer, and not next to ripening fruits.

🗓️
When to plant

November-January, immediately after taking out of the fridge.
The pointed end of the bulb - facing up.

📏
Depth and Spacing

Depth of about 5 cm.
Spacing of 5-10 cm between bulbs.

🌍
Location and Soil

Partially shaded and wind-protected spot, in moist, aerated, and well-drained soil.

💧
Watering

Water after planting and keep the soil lightly moist during the growth period, without standing water.

🍂
After blooming

Cut the withered flower and leave the leaves until they yellow.
Afterwards, you can remove the bulbs and store them in a dry, ventilated place.

📝 Important to know

📐 About the height

Ice Cream is a relatively short tulip - usually about 40 cm, depending on growing conditions. This is part of its compact look.

🍎 Not near fruits

Ripening fruits release a gas that may damage the flower bud inside the bulb. It is better to use a separate drawer in the fridge.

🔁 Blooming next year

In Israel's climate, blooming in the second year is usually weaker. Those who want to try: keep the bulbs dry in the summer and cool again before planting.

📅 Estimated dates

The dates and height are estimates and depend on the region, weather, and growing conditions.

❓ FAQ

❓ Why is it called Ice Cream?

Because of the flower's shape: pink petals on the outside and a full, white center that looks like a scoop of ice cream in a cone.

❓ Does it need to be chilled before planting?

Yes, 6-9 weeks in the refrigerator at about 5°C, in a paper bag or mesh. Not in the freezer and away from fruit.

❓ When and how to plant?

In November-January, immediately after chilling, at a depth of about 5 cm and with the pointed end facing up.

❓ Can it be planted in a pot?

Yes. A pot with drainage holes and well-ventilated soil, in a partially shaded place protected from the wind.

❓ How long until it blooms?

According to the manufacturer, about two months after planting - usually in February-March.

❓ The stem leans due to the weight of the flower - what to do?

This happens with double tulips. Move the pot to a place protected from the wind, and you can support the stem with a thin stake.

❓ Will it bloom again next year?

In the local climate, the bloom in the second year is usually weaker. You can try keeping the bulbs dry in the summer and chilling them again before planting.

🍦 In short - who is it for?

The Ice Cream tulip is perfect for anyone wanting a tulip with an unconventional shape - a double flower in pink and white - in a pot or planter in a protected spot. Just remember to plan for chilling in the fridge before planting.

💡 Tip: Plant all five bulbs together in one pot - this way the special flowers will appear as one group.
