The flowers of this double early tulip are a sumptuous shade of violet purple, so they team easily with most shades of pink and blue, as well as rich plum and other shades of purple. Being quite big and blousy, they put on a great display and can be used in borders or pots. - Garden care: From September to December plant the 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
