Peony-flowered double early tulips unfurl their voluptuous blooms, revealing a tantalising interplay of hues that ignite the spring garden. Rich orange petals, delicately flamed with raspberry tones make up these multi-layered, ruffled flowers that crown sturdy stems. A delightful addition to bouquets, ‘Zoe’s’ radiant beauty harmonises exquisitely when combined with sepia and apricot-coloured companions.
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 dead-head 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.
