These large blooms are held on strong, sturdy stems that resist wind and rain, standing tall for weeks. This tulip is perfect for mixed borders, formal bedding schemes, or containers on patios and balconies. It pairs beautifully with deeper shades like Tulip 'Queen of Night' or violet-blue Hyacinths for a striking contrast, or with white daffodils or pastel tulips for a softer, romantic display. This variety typically reaches around 50cm tall and flowers from mid to late spring. It is a reliable perennial tulip, often reappearing for several years in a suitable location. Plant bulbs in autumn in a sunny, free-draining area, about 15cm deep. Feeding with a high-potassium fertiliser after flowering can encourage repeat performance. Supplied as a set of 24 bulbs, size 11/12.
