My tulip version of our popular Shells on the Beach dahlia collection, in the same dreamy palette
Featuring some of my all-time favourite tulips in a palette of coral, mauve, milky coffee and apricot – inspired by shells found on a beachcombing walk in the outer Hebrides.
Specially curated with varieties to flower around the same time for an elegant display in pots, or planted direct into the borders.
This collection contains 10 or 20 bulbs each of:
- Tulip 'Sanne'
- Tulip 'Chica Dura'
- Tulip 'Mango Charm'
- Tulip 'Silver Cloud'
- Tulip 'Mystic van Eijk'
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.
