Product Information

Full details

The Thompson & Morgan Tulip 'Mai Tai' is perfect for gardeners looking to add vibrant, tropical aesthetics to their spring landscape without the fragility often associated with exotic-looking flowers. These double-bloom tulips offer a striking color palette of mango, pineapple, and pomegranate, providing a major visual impact for both garden beds and indoor arrangements. While they are exceptionally weather-resistant thanks to their robust stems, prospective growers must handle them with care, as the bulbs are toxic if ingested and can cause skin or eye irritation.

Are these tulips safe for pets?

No, these tulips are harmful if eaten and can cause irritation. Please keep them away from pets and children.

Do I need to stake these tulips?

What is the best way to handle the bulbs?

Can I grow these in pots?

Yes, they can be grown in containers, provided the container has good drainage and the bulbs receive adequate sunlight.

When do these tulips bloom?

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to sprout in spring

Ensure the bulbs experienced a sufficient cool winter period, as this is essential for bloom activation.

Wilting or yellowing leaves

Check soil drainage; over-saturated soil can lead to bulb rot. Adjust watering frequency to maintain consistent but not excessive moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking, multi-tonal double bloom appearance
  • Highly durable stems resistant to wind and rain damage
  • Excellent longevity as a cut flower for indoor bouquets
  • Easy to integrate into standard spring flower displays

Cons

  • Bulbs are harmful if eaten
  • Contact with bulbs can cause skin and eye irritation
  • Requires a consistent cool winter period for successful activation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal growth, plant your bulbs in a sunny location that offers some protection from harsh, consistent winds. The soil should be well-draining; while the tulips require consistent moisture, avoid waterlogging the area, as saturated soil can damage the bulbs. A bulb-specific fertilizer should be applied during the active growth phase to support bloom production. Always wear gloves when handling the bulbs to prevent skin irritation and keep them out of reach of children and pets, as they are toxic if ingested.
