Regional Journal: Dutch tulip diplomacy

General • February 22, 2026

Regional Journal: Dutch tulip diplomacy is drawing significant interest across the industry.

The Netherlands may soon baptise a new tulip variety after a popular Indian personality, Ambassador Marisa Gerards has said. Names like Narendra Modi, Droupadi Murmu and Amitabh Bachchan are under consideration, though no decision has been finalised. India imports 15 lakh tulip bulbs annually for Srinagar’s garden, while a Dutch-backed centre in Kashmir aims to boost local production. A yellow “Maitri” tulip was named in 2022 to mark 75 years of diplomatic ties.

Experts suggest this could influence future trends and innovation in the sector.

More updates are expected as the story develops.
