A stunning blend of antique shades and unique colourings, featuring generously proportioned, fully-petalled bowls atop sturdy stems. Perfect for mixing in borders or vases, and complemented by their robust nature and delightful scent.


In this combination you will receive the following:

  • 10 × Tulipa 'Copper Image': The flowers of this stunning new tulip are a rich blend of antique shades, which include orange, pink, gold and green - and this makes them particularly useful for mixing. Forming generously proportioned, fully-petalled bowls, which top stout and sturdy stems, they look sublime in the vase or the border. Grows to 40cm.

  • 5 × Tulipa 'La Belle Époque': Large, many-petalled flowers appear in late spring or early summer. Their unique colouring (pinkish-apricot becoming paler towards the outer edges of the petals), blends well with deeper pinks and shades of purple. Often called peony-flowered tulips, these beautiful blooms also make great cut flowers. Grows to 45cm.

  • 10 × Tulipa 'Apricot Beauty': The sturdy stems of these single, early-flowering tulips stand up well in wind and rain, and in March and April are topped with soft, salmon pink, cup-shaped flowers, each with an orange margin. Robust and versatile, they're perfect for planting in a sunny, sheltered, well-drained border or a large patio container. Plant them where you can best enjoy the subtle but sweet scent of the blooms. Grows to 45cm.


  • Garden care:
    Using fresh, good-quality compost, plant bulbs in pots from September to November. For borders, we advise waiting until after the first frosts (typically mid-October to early December depending on your location) to reduce the risk of potential disease such as Tulip Fire. Plant bulbs 15-20cm (6-8in) deep and 10-15cm (4-6in) apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq or 60-75 bulbs per m². If you’re unable to plant your bulbs immediately, they can be stored in a cool environment with good air circulation. Remove all the packaging and place them in a loose-weave jute sack before labelling and hanging up in a dry, unheated garden shed or well-ventilated greenhouse.

    In spring, when the plants are in active growth, apply a high-potash fertiliser (like Tomorite) each week until the leaves start to die back. Pinch off the spent flower heads as the petals fall, and let the stem and foliage die back naturally. The bulbs can then be lifted and discarded, or cleaned, dried and stored (as before) for replanting the following autumn.
