Silky, rose-pink petals, each with a darker magenta flame herald the cup-shaped blooms of this regal Triumph tulip. ‘Pretty Princess’ has foliage trimmed with a narrow cream band providing additional interest to its robust and long lasting, two-tone flowers. A true ‘belle’ for large pots or as stand-out pockets of bold colour for royal beds and borders. - 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.
