Belle Epoque Tulip Collection reviews
Reviewed 15th July 2019 by Hello Liz The bulbs produced no flowers, only leaves, and went mouldy, despite it not being a particularly wet winter here and them being in new bulb fibre in pots. I was eventually given a refund onto my online voucher after 3 chasing emails. |
Reviewed 11th July 2019 by Hello Verena Excellent service. High quality products |
Reviewed 10th July 2019 by Hello Annette Fabulous choice of colours and looked wonderful in tubs with wallflower in the spring. Would really recommend these quality bulbs. |
Reviewed 10th July 2019 by Hello Julia Beautiful colours and high quality bulb. |
Reviewed 10th July 2019 by Hello Alan These made a perfect setting for the two peony flowered tulips. Many compliments from neighbours and visitors. |
Reviewed 10th July 2019 by Hello You delivered on what you promised the tulips and wallflowers were lovely. The colours were beautiful. |
Reviewed 8th July 2019 by Louise Superb flowers, quite unusual |
Reviewed 26th June 2019 by Elizabeth The bulbs looked OK but did not perform well. I was very disappointed as the previous tulip bulbs ordered had been quite sensational. i would not like to risk reordering for next year. |

I just have! Planted as shown in two layers in two large terracotta pots. Waited and waited. Eventually one small tulip appeared and the tips of some others. Waited again... nothing! |
Reviewed 26th June 2019 by Margaret These tulips are divine. I also got the last year - the colours are rich and beautiful. Also your catalogues are like story books to me - I look at them over and over. Lovely painting ideas too. Thank you. |

La belle epoque
Reviewed 29th May 2017 by Claire Durnell When I received some of the bulbs had mould on, I brushed it off and persevered due to the price. Planted with plenty of grit as a bulb lasagne as per videos but were a slight disappointment. A few blind bulbs, also some with twisted foliage. La belle epoque came through well but the other two were hit and miss. I will try them again next year having lifted and treaTed bulbs with fungicide. Fingers crossed as I adore this colour palette |
Belle Epoque
Reviewed 24th May 2017 by claire durnell A beautiful mix of colours, one or two soft bulbs on arrival which were discarded and one or two blind bulbs once bloomed. The rest were beautiful. Here's hoping for a reliable display next year |
A beautiful collection
Reviewed 6th May 2016 by Jackie Charman A lovely combination of subtle colours and shapes on sturdy stems. Even the leaves are lovely. Really pleased with the effect. |
Stunning
Reviewed 3rd May 2016 by Irina I bought this collection and planted around December in two pots. One is in full bloom right now and the other one is just catching up which means I am going to have these beauties for longer and it is incredibly beautiful. The flowers are large and gorgeous and the colours are simply stunning. Bees seem to be very attracted to these too, especially Bruine Wimpel tulip |
