The tulip (Tulipa) is not just another flower; it is a symbol of elegance and history. Introduced to the Western world by Vienna's ambassador to Turkey, Ogier Gisleen van Busbeke, in 1551, the tulip has left an indelible impression ever since. From the Turkish city of Edirne, van Busbeke sent some seeds to Austria, leading to the first European tulip cultivation in Antwerp in 1562.
Carolus Clusius, a Flemish botanist, played a crucial role in the spread of tulips by planting them in the Hortus botanicus Leiden in 1593. Today, the forest tulip (Tulipa sylvestris) remains the only wild species in the Netherlands, established since the 19th century.
Our collection of beautiful tulips, derived from the classic Tulipa gesneriana, is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the timeless beauty of this flower. Add a touch of history and elegance to your garden or interior with these beautiful tulips.
