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'
We may occasionally send a substitute variety, carefully chosen by our growers for suitability and of equal or greater value. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
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.
