Bulbes de tulipes à fleurs doubles en pot (Tulipa Abba)
Tulipa ‘Abba’ is a decorative tulip variety from the Double Early group, valued for its rich red-orange flowers with a slightly peony-like look and for its early blooming, which quickly brings color to the spring garden. It is a compact tulip with sturdy stems, suitable for borders, flower beds, pots, and planters, where it provides an intense and elegant visual effect. The flowers have a full, double shape, and the yellow center becomes more visible as the flower opens. The variety is also known for its subtle fragrance.

• Leaves: Green, elongated leaves arranged at the base of the flower stem, with a clean and decorative look typical of early tulips.
• Flowers: Large, double flowers in shades of red-orange with many petals and a peony-like appearance. Yellow tones can be seen in the center of the flower as it opens more. The flowering is particularly attractive and lasts well for an early tulip.
