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. Tulip 'White Valley' is a favourite for this.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. We may also vary the number of bulbs per variety, depending on availability. The overall quantity of bulbs and value will not be affected. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.

- In October/November, plant pointy end up 10-15cm deep, 8cm apart. Layer bulbs to a depth of 25-30cm if room is tight. For containers, space bulbs 1-2cm apart if planting in a single layer, give them more room, 2-3cm if planting in a bulb lasagne.
Care Tips
Allow foliage to die down naturally if you are hoping to reuse the bulbs the following year.
