Forming large, many-petalled, bowl-shaped flowers, which top super-strong upright stems, 'Danceline' is great for jazzing up borders or pots. The flowers themselves are an interesting mix of subtle colour. When they first unfurl from bud, many of the petals are a rich cream, and some have splashes of green on their outer edges. Then as the flowers mature, their colour lightens and they occasionally take on a pinkish blush, but their most distinctive feature is the irregular raspberry daub that tips some of the petals. A real tulip to watch as the season progresses because you get something different almost every day!
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.
