This impressive tulip has larger than average flowers, so forms great goblets of fiery colour on top of its tall stems. A lush mix of orange and pink, with hints of yellow, they make an eye-catching addition to the border, where they will look sublime with bold purples, strong pinks or even yellow. - 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.
