We all like to feel that April is springtime proper, at least in Britain we do. But squally winds and drenching downpours are the harsh reality. Growing a tulip like Orange Princess is especially valuable if you live in an unpredictable climate. She will withstand stormy winds and lashing rain bravely, unlike some tulip varieties. Her flowers might start to look a little windswept, but largely she escapes unscathed.
Tulip Orange Princess is a rare and wonderful diva for another surprising reason.
She knows how to age gracefully.
Yes, her petals may fade and shrink a little. But her magnificent bone structure remains bewitching, and you’ll share the glory of her later days.
Cutting tulips for your house brings their beauty even closer to you. Placed in a vase of fresh water in a cool room, tulip Orange Princess will enchant you for days.

The Nitty Gritty
If you enjoy cutting flowers for your house, then I would encourage you to plant plenty of tulip bulbs so you can enjoy these gorgeous flowers in your garden and your house.
Tulips like to be planted in late autumn/early winter, after the first frosts. This helps protect them against tulip fire.
Plant deeply in containers with good quality compost mixed with a couple of handfuls of grit to improve drainage. Check the packet for precise planting depth.
Pop your pots in a sunny spot, well, as sunny as anywhere gets in winter.
And wait patiently until the first jade green tips appear in February/March.
Remember to water your containers if you’ve had a dry spell.
