A trio of complementary and understated pastel pinks, each with variations in blush and flaming to their goblet-shaped blooms. Perfect for patio pots and borders for a memorable month of May, and ideal candidates collectively to elevate your cut flower displays to a new level of elegance.
In each collection you will receive the following:
- 7 × Tulipa 'Groenland': Semi-fluted green-flushed pink flowers top stout, upright stems in late spring, creating a very pretty contrast to other paler and stronger pinks, and offering a pleasant harmony to lush greens. As the flowers last so well after being cut, they are popular with florists and make handsome additions to the vase. Grows to 45cm.
- 10 × Tulipa 'Rosalie': Strong stems hold the gorgeous soft pink flowers above the grey-green foliage in late spring. A great option for the home florist as they last well when cut for the vase, and in the border, they will mix really well with richer pinks and plum, as well as most shades of violet and purple. Grows to 50cm.
- 10 × Tulipa 'Mistress': Elegant and understated, this sugar pink triumph tulip is one of the best pink tulips. The long-lasting flowers have a classic shape and sit on sturdy, upright stems that cope well with wind and rain. It looks great in mass plantings and their delicate mix of both pale and deeper pink on each petal means that they are easy to mix with many other shades. Grows to 50cm.
