Best Orange Tulip Collection
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
I've long been a fan of orange for growing and arranging, and it’s never better than with tulips
Grouping four of my absolute favourite oranges with the addition of ‘Slawa’ – whose crimson petals and apricot trim balances this palette to just the right degree.
A ready-made collection for cutting, these offer a good ten days vase life when cut at their peak.
This collection contains 5 or 10 bulbs each of:
- Tulip 'Lambada
- Tulip 'Apricot Foxx'
- Tulip 'Ballerina'
- Tulip 'Slawa'
- Tulip 'Mango Charm'
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.
