With its fiery orange blooms flushed with rich pink hues, 'Jimmy' is a spring wonder that adds vibrant energy to any flower bed. Against the backdrop of its bluish-toned foliage, these triumph tulips are perfect for bedding schemes, effortlessly mixing with shades of yellow and lime green to create a dynamic and eye-catching arrangement. Plant plenty of this reliable and weather resilient Triumph tulip to ensure you have extras for the vase, allowing you bring the beauty of spring indoors as well.
Plant bulbs in pots from September. For borders, we advise waiting until after the first frosts (November to December) to reduce the risk of potential disease such as Tulip Fire. Plant bulbs 15-20cm (6-8in) deep and 10-15cm (4-6in) apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq or 60-75 bulbs per m². 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.
