| Care Tips | Don’t plant tulips until the cold weather has set in - this helps wipe out viral and fungal diseases. Dip the bulbs in Bulb Starter when planting and mulch with manure. Leave the browning foliage on your tulips until every leaf has died right down; this allows the bulb to store more food. |
| Flowering | April - May |
| Vase Life | Tulips make supreme cut flowers. Strip the bottom leaves, tie the stems in paper and allow to drink with the stems held vertical for 8 hours. This helps keep the stems straight. |

Reviewed 26th June 2019 by Mary Great service from Sarah Raven, as usual! Great results from the tulips this year. They flowered for quite a few weeks and gave us great joy. Many thanks. |
A miss, but the rest of my order was a hit!
Reviewed 27th April 2018 by Jane Harwood Disappointing collection, I planted them in a large container but I'm afraid they really don't wow me. The overall impression is that as a collection they look a thin. By contrast "Chato" and "Purrissima" tulips have been wonderful and I have high hopes for "Menton" not out yet but big fat flower buds promise something lovely to come. |
