Tulipa Vaya Con Dios

Prepare to be captivated by the majestic beauty of Tulipa 'Vaya Con Dios', a tulip that lives up to its name—“Go with God”—by offering a truly divine display in the late spring garden. This extraordinary Double Late Tulip unfurls in a luxurious explosion of golden yellow petals, edged delicately in soft primrose and sometimes kissed with faint hints of cream or apricot as the blooms mature. The densely layered petals resemble a peony, bringing opulence and grandeur to borders, beds, and containers alike.

Each flower is a miniature masterpiece, held aloft on strong, stately stems that withstand the weather with ease, making them not only a joy in the garden but also exquisite in the vase. Their luminous colour catches the light beautifully, casting a warm glow that lifts the spirits and closes the tulip season with unmatched flair.

Ideal for planting in groups for maximum impact or weaving through a border to add pockets of rich golden brilliance, Tulipa 'Vaya Con Dios' is a perfect choice for those who appreciate both drama and refinement. Plant in autumn, and let this tulip sing its golden swan song come late April or early May.

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant in autumn, from September to November, before the first hard frosts.

Where to Plant:
Choose a sunny, well-drained location—ideal for borders, beds, or large pots. Tulips dislike waterlogged soil, so improve drainage if needed.

How to Plant:

• Depth: 15 cm (6 inches) deep.
• Spacing: 10-12 cm (4–5 inches) apart.
• Postion: Always plant with the pointed end of the bulb facing upwards.

Aftercare:
Once planted, leave undisturbed over winter. Water lightly if autumn is dry. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulb for next year’s bloom.

Top Tip:
For the best impact, plant in generous drifts or clusters of five or more. Pair with other late tulips or soft spring perennials for a stunning colour contrast.
