Smokey Hues Tulip Collection
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
We’ve come a long way from brash reds and yellows, as this elegant edit of tulips confirms
Including one of my favourite tulips for cutting – ‘Slawa’ – alongside the faded glory of multi-blooming ‘Blue Heaven’, dramatic ‘Continental’ and delicate ‘Salmon Jimmy'.
In a carefully curated palette that’s fashionable right now, grow these in pots or direct in the cutting patch for ready-made arrangements.
This collection contains 5 or 10 bulbs each of:
- Tulip 'Blue Heaven'
- Tulip 'Continental'
- Tulip 'Salmon Jimmy'
- Tulip 'Slawa'
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.
