More Details
Many people's favourite. Tulip 'Angelique' is a classic, feminine and pretty pink peony-flowered tulip.
Our tulip bulbs are the best and biggest we can find, from tried and trusted growers. Remember that they like to be planted in the colder months of late October and November, and if planted in a pot, will need occasional watering.

| Scent | Unscented |
| Site | Full Sun, Part Shade |
| Moisture | Well-drained |
| Height | 35-40cm (14-16in) |
| Spacing | Plant pointy end up 10-15cm (4-6in) deep, 8cm (3in) apart. Layer bulbs to a depth of 25-30cm (10-12in) if room is tight. Remember to add plenty of grit if your soil is heavy. For containers, space bulbs 1-2cm (½-1in) apart if planting in a single layer, give them more room, 2-3cm (1-1½in) if planting in a bulb lasagne. |
| Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Plant outdoors October - December. |
| Care Tips | Don't plant tulip bulbs until the cold weather has set in – this helps wipe out viral and fungal diseases. Leave the browning foliage on your tulips until every leaf has died right down – this allows the bulb to store more food and increases the chances of good flowering the following year. |
| Flowering | Late April - May |
| Vase Life | Tulips make supreme cut flowers. Strip the bottom leaves, tie the stems in paper to hold the stems ram-rod straight and leave to drink for at least 3 hours – or overnight. This helps keep the stems straight, but tulips do continue to grow after picking so curves may appear. |

Lovely and lasted ages
Reviewed 19th July 2017 by Joanne I bought Angelique last Autumn and planted in tubs. When it flowered it was beautiful and lasted for such a long time - out flowering all the other tulips I planted. Will be buying more. |
Pretty tulip which turned heads
Reviewed 18th July 2017 by Debbie Planted this tulip in patio pots. Flowered really well. Pretty, blousy, girlie, almost rose like in appearance. Everyone who saw them admired their beauty. |
If You Only Have Room For One Variety of Tulip
Reviewed 16th June 2014 by Lilly1314 It has to be this one. Feds gracefully, good and strong and previous year's mix in well with new planting this year, just smaller and a little paler, but true to type. |
