Double Peony Tulip Aveyron

Double Peony Tulip Aveyron

88%
of respondents would recommend this to a friend
Introducing a luxuriant double flowered tulip that more closely resembles a peony than any other tulip we have seen in a while. Aveyron is a rare French import that provides a sophisticated flower form in a unique bluish shade of baby pink. The lush and velvety petals blend to pale rose, then to creamy white at the edges. A web of fine, white streaks becomes more pronounced with age, giving Aveyron a truly exotic appearance, especially late in the growing season. Best planted in clusters to mimic the look of a traditional, albeit somewhat shorter, peony bush. We like it in borders, along sunny pathways or as a cutting garden addition. Makes an outstanding cut flower!

Planted 100 bulbs last fall, enjoying a beautiful display April 18. They started opening a few days ago and are almost all open now. Zone 5b. Beautiful bright pink double bloom that seems to glow almost neon at dusk. Assuming they may fade to the lighter pink in the stock photo. Thrilled with this tulip! Will add another 100 to the same bed to up the wow factor next year. Thanks KVB!

These grew beautifully, but colors not quite as vibrant as picture on website. They are truly double actually maybe even triple. And someone even did comment that they look like peonies.

Q
When is best time to plant
Asked by Will515
Verified Reply - AngelaThe Double Peony Tulip Aveyron is shipped in the fall and the bulbs should be planted when they arrive.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Will this bulb flower every year
Asked by Diane
Verified Reply - AngelaThe Double Peony Tulip Aveyron is technically a perennial. Like many tulips, it may not be very reliable as a perennial. It is important to allow the foliage to die back naturally. This helps the bulb gather energy needed to bloom again. The most reliably perennial tulips are Darwin Hybrids. Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Can this bulb be grown in a container in zone 9b?
Asked by Sudie
Verified Reply - AngelaThe Double Peony Tulip Aveyron is suited for USDA Hardiness zones 3 to 8. It's likely too hot for them to perform well in your zone 9b. If you try it, the bulbs need to be pre-chilled for about 14 weeks prior to planting. Was this answer helpful to you

Do these tulips naturalize well?
