The Tulip 'Ice Cream Yellow' (KF9130) is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add a dramatic, peony-like focal point to their spring landscape, whether in beds, borders, or patio containers. Its primary benefit is its striking bicolour display featuring raspberry pink outer petals and a lush, banana-yellow core, offering a luxurious aesthetic for both garden beds and cut flower arrangements. Note that these bulbs require well-drained soil to thrive, as they are susceptible to damage if left in waterlogged conditions.
