Fruit Gum Tulip Collection
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
When these flowered in our whopper pots it reminded me of long car journeys with a bag of sweets
Saturated shades combine for a luminous, juicy and joyful combination. Featuring fringed 'Lambada', elegant ‘Doll’s Minuet’, and the sophisticated lily-shaped ‘Sarah Raven’.
Three tulips with long-flowering periods and excellent vase life when cut. Grow in pots by the front door to enjoy their vibrant display from April into May.
This collection contains 10 or 20 bulbs each of:
- Tulip 'Lambada'
- Tulip 'Doll's Minuet'
- Tulip 'Sarah Raven'
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.
