An exotic collection of tall, sturdy, and long-lasting tulips in warm reddish-pink and apricot-pink tones, complemented by deep burgundy (near-black) blooms. A stunning and award winning assortment of tulips that are sure to draw attention to themselves in the middle of borders and interior displays.
In each collection you will receive the following:
- 10 × Tulipa 'Menton': Satin-like petals in a sensuous shade of pink, with apricot highlights that become more noticeable around the petal edges. These form graceful, egg-shaped flowers on sturdy upright stems that stand up well to adverse weather conditions. A tough and well-established tulip that can be used in seasonal bedding displays or to fill a vase inside the house. Grows to 70cm.
- 5 × Tulipa 'Slawa' (PBR): The petals on this stunning triumph tulip are a deep wine red but each has a broad orange edge which turns a pinkish apricot as the slender flowers mature. Topping sturdy stems, they make an elegant and eye-catching addition to the seasonal border display. Grows to 50cm.
- 10 × Tulipa 'Paul Scherer': Tulip breeders have been trying for years to create a variety that produces a near-black flower on a tall stem - and here it is! The blooms are large, oval, almost egg-shaped, and sit on top of a sturdy stem in late spring. Plant in bold drifts for big impact, or tone it down with silvers and pinks. This variety has been granted the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society. Grows to 50cm.
