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. - Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering deadhead and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
