Apricot Pot Tulip Collection
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
Discovering ‘Marianne’ on a bulb hunting trip last spring inspired me to create this trio
Soft, romantic shades like milky coffee and mauve are on the up, and these are the perfect apricots to combine them with.
A ready-made collection for cutting, these offer a good ten days vase life when cut at their peak. Grow in pots on the patio or direct in the border.
This collection contains 10 or 20 bulbs each of:
- Tulip 'Mango Charm'
- Tulip 'Valdivia'
- Tulip 'Marianne'
Tulip petals are all edible. We scatter them over salad and use some petals dipped in tempura batter and served with a spring garden Frito Misto.
