Not only will the colour of 'Gorilla' add oomph to the colour palette, but the ruffled edge to the petals will help add textural interest too. This is particularly useful when combining flowers that have a similar colouring together, but if you want to add a bold contrast, try mixing this fringed tulip with vibrant orange. - 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.
- Humans: Harmful if eaten; skin allergen; Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
