More Details
Tulipa hageri 'Little Beauty' is a very pretty species tulip with bright pink flowers with deep blue centres and a delicious scent.
Species tulips are incredibly perennial. They often form a colony that gently thrives and reproduces for at least several decades. We could all do with a bit more of that in our gardens – tulips that you can plant and which can then be enjoyed by our children or even our grandchildren.
This can be gift wrapped in our exclusive hessian sack, with ribbon and a Sarah Raven gift card. You will be able to add this to your basket once you begin the checkout process. To add a gift message to your order, simply fill out the details at the delivery stage of the checkout.
Please note: only items which are showing ‘in stock’ can be gift wrapped.

| Vase Life | Tulips make supreme cut flowers. Strip the bottom leaves, tie the stems in paper and soak for 8 hrs. This helps keep the stems straight. |
