It's so easy to create a fabulous display in borders or pots with this richly coloured collection of tulips.
In this collection you will receive the following bulbs:
10 x Tulipa 'Burgundy Lace': A wonderful tall tulip that is a really luscious shade of plum. It looks great when teamed up with other bruised tones, or just planted in great swathes throughout the border. The fringed petals give the flowers an interesting silhouette. Grows to 60cm.
10 x Tulipa 'Purple Flag': A stunning tulip, that will add strength to planting schemes containing shades of plum, lilac and blue. It also associates well with plants that have silvery coloured foliage. Stout and robust, it stands up well in poor weather conditions and the flowers are excellent for cutting. Grows to 45cm.
10 x Tulipa 'White Dream': Gorgeous pure white, bowl-shaped flowers appear in mid-spring above mid-green, strap-like foliage. A beautiful bulb, which is sometimes known as 'White Emperor', contrasts well with dark coloured tulips, such as 'Queen of Night'. Best grown in a sunny, well-drained site, and it makes excellent cut-flowers. Grows to 50cm.
10 x Tulipa 'Barcelona': A very conventionally shaped flower for a tulip, but it has outstandingly vibrant colour that makes it a real show-off. The stems are sturdy making them ideal for windy or exposed spots, and the flowers are quite long lasting. If you want a really daramtic show, mix them with strong purples or reds, or tone them down with softer pinks. Grows to 45cm.
5 x Tulipa 'Swan Wings': Fringed tulips not only give you spring colour, but the dissected petal edges also create textural interest. These flowers are glowing white, so are perfect for creating a classy look in borders and pots. Grows to 55cm.
