Sarah's Doorstep Tulip Collection
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
Place these fairy tale flowers at your door and I challenge you not to swoon each time you pass
Grouping three of my current favourites, each bringing something unique to the party – from the frilly frippery of ‘Cabanna Parrot’, to the elegant hues of ‘Limoncello’ and simplicity of ‘Northcap’.
Plant into a large tub or direct in the border for an illuminating display from April into May.
This collection contains 10 or 20 bulbs each of:
- Tulip 'Limoncello'
- Tulip 'Cabanna Parrot'
- Tulip 'Northcap'
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.
