Description
Whether it’s Chelsea or Keukenhof, Tulip 'Fly Away' will hold its own amongst displays of the most beautiful blooms the world has to offer. The hot-orange petals are edged with a molten gold that highlights the beautiful yet simple form of each bloom. We wonder whether the breeder who named it thought of the Phoenix when naming Tulip 'Fly Away'. We certainly did! While lily flowered tulips like this one don’t have the fluffs, feathers, and ruffles of some tulips, lily-flowering Tulip 'Fly Away' is perfect just as it is. 50cm tall flower stems ensure a graceful display and fiery cut flowers to bring into your home.

About the grower
At a young age, Hein Huijg bought 10 kilos of tulip bulbs for 850 Dutch guilders from his savings. After one year, he was able to triple the yield and he kept 20 kilos of his harvest. Hein invested his profit in other tulip bulbs. This was the start of the bulb company 'Huijg Breezand' in Breezand, The Netherlands. Around the end of the eighties, John and Raymond Huijg (see photo) became partners. The company has grown to over 45 hectares of flower bulbs nowadays!
