Flowering | March - April |
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. |

Tulips to Naturalise Collection reviews
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Nicholas These flowered right on time and looked good beneath my orchard trees with the other spring flowers. Hopefully they will come again next year. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Dawn I had assumed these would be the poorer cousins of the showier style of tulips but these tulips were hands down the best in my garden- so much more elegant and long-lasting than I was expecting. I can't wait for them to spread! |
