You Garden Tulip Triumph White - Set Of 15 Bulbs, Size 10/11
Triumph tulips are a cross between two exceptionally successful varieties, Single Early and Darwin...Triumph tulips are a cross between two exceptionally successful varieties, Single Early and Darwin. The gorgeous, pure white bowl-shaped flowers look absolutely pristine above broad grey-green leaves. Beautiful when planted and grown together for an exquisite, refreshing spring display, they do not need any help to look magnificent. However, adding cream and pastel tulips will form a wonderful glade-like atmosphere. Triumph tulips thrive in sun or partial shade; they are ideal in large planters or in flower borders, especially in big groups, while long, straight stems make them wonderful for cutting and placing in an indoor display. Tulips are easy to grow, care for, and can even be left in the ground after flowering, returning with another wonderful display the following year as they slowly naturalise and spread, or can be dug up and stored over summer before replanting in autumn. Supplied as a pack of 15 bulbs, size 10/11, ready to plant in autumn, growing to a height of 50cm and a width of 15cm.
