Celebrate May in style with this contrasting colour and form collection of dramatic tulips whose colours are a rich blend of pinks, deep claret and lavender-flamed apricot. Ideal for patio pots and borders but they really shine as a long-lasting cut-flower combination.


In each collection you will receive the following:

  • 10 × Tulipa 'Mascara': Grows to 50cm.

  • 10 × Tulipa 'Amazing Parrot': This parrot tulip offers a stunning blend of colour and form. Each satin-like petal has a generously ruffled edge, and its colours are a rich blend of pinks and apricot-orange. The big, blousy blooms are held aloft on sturdy stems, so they look really eye-catching in the border - and they also look wonderful in a vase. Grows to 45cm.

  • 10 × Tulipa 'Avignon': The flowers appear, glowing like lit torches on the upright stems from mid-May, bringing with them a dramatic flourish to the planting scheme. These are tough plants, with flowers that cope well in adverse weather conditions, so they are ideally suited to exposed positions. A tall, classic tulip, try teaming it up with the apricot-flushed pink tulip 'Menton' for a cracking combination. Grows to 70cm.


  • Garden care:
    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.
    • Humans: Harmful if eaten; skin allergen; Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
