Oranjestad DHB tulips
Orange City, Iowa — The Orange City Tulip Festival is coming up next week, and now Orange City has their own exclusive tulip variety.
The Dutch Heritage Boosters — or DHB — a non-profit group in Orange City, promoting the community’s heritage and Dutch traditions, has announced a new variety of tulip brought exclusively to Orange City. The Oranjestad DHB tulip is a never-before-seen breed introduced exclusively to the United States and Orange City. They say it is named in honor of Orange City, and reflects the community’s love of tulips and Dutch traditions.
They tell us that in conjunction with De Vroomen Garden Products of the Netherlands, and under the auspices of the Consulate General of The Kingdom of The Netherlands, the bulb will be available to preorder this spring through Tulip Town Bulb Company of Orange City, for fall planting. They say the Oranjestad DHB is a Darwin hybrid and later-blooming tulip with generous blossoms opening in soft apricot tones and maturing into a blend of orange and yellow hues.
