A collection of tulips in all shades of blush from pale and mid-tone pinks, to a deep wine-red. A complementary and curated collection sure to warm the coldest spring day!
In each collection you will receive the following:
- 10 × Tulipa 'Pretty Love': Sporting a captivating pink hue adorned with a darker flush, 'Pretty Love' showcases gracefully reflexing pointed petals from deeply saturated pink, fluted-shaped flowers, ideal for cutting. The leaves of this variety offer their own visual delight, boasting a lush grass-green hue with delicate lighter green stripes, providing a stunning contrast to the vibrant blooms. Grows to 50cm tall.
10 × Tulipa 'Carola': A great mid-tone pink that is vibrant enough to add dollops of bright colour to softer shades, but it's also useful for showcasing bolder colours - or even tying the two together. A classically shaped tulip, it's elegant and versatile. Grows to 40cm tall.
5 × Tulipa 'Slawa': The petals on this stunning triumph tulip are a deep wine red but each has a broad orange edge which turns a pinkish apricot as the slender flowers mature. Topping sturdy stems, they make an elegant and eyecatching addition to the seasonal border display. Grows to 50cm tall.
From August to November plant the bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. While actively growing, keep them moderately well watered and remove the flowers after they have faded. At that stage a balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied each week for 4 weeks before they die down.
