Embrace the contrasts of nature's palette with this curated collection of lilac, yellow and white tulips, where the peony-like 'Mondial' variety unfurls its lightly feathered pure white petals atop scented stems, the classically shaped 'Candy Prince' charms with soft lilac blooms finely laced in deeper hues and complemented by silvery green foliage, and the radiant 'Strong Gold' radiates cheerful, sunny yellow cup-shaped petals.
In this combination you will receive the following:
- 10 × Tulipa 'Mondial': Peony-like flowers, which are made up of lots of lightly feathered pure white petals, top the stems of this double early tulip. The flowers of 'Mondial' have a light scent too, so plant them in a border near a seating area or path - or pot them up for the patio. Grows to 35cm.
- 10 × Tulipa 'Candy Prince': Classically shaped soft lilac blooms, which are finely laced with a deeper hue, are offset perfectly by the silvery green foliage. Relatively short-stemmed, 'Candy Prince' is ideal for bedding displays in the border, but it is also deserving of a place in pots and containers. Grows to 35cm.
- 10 × Tulipa 'Strong Gold': Radiant and cheerful, 'Bright Yellow Triumph' boasts classic, cup-shaped blooms that exude a sunny yellow hue. Resting atop strong and sturdy stems, these vibrant flowers illuminate any garden border or patio pot with their vivid colour. Perfect for creating dazzling displays, this variety complements other bright tulips, adding a burst of visual impact to the garden, and its resilience to wind and rain makes it an ideal choice for both outdoor and indoor arrangements. Grows to 35cm.
From August to November plant the bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. While actively growing, keep them moderately well watered and remove the flowers after they have faded. At that stage a balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied each week for 4 weeks before they die down.
