Top Size Bulbs for Bigger Flowers
Chosen by Sarah for form & performance
Tried & Tested by Sarah
Talented florist Anna Potter created this sumptuous line up in her signature Dutch masters palette
Featuring some of our most characterful and intensely coloured tulips – including ‘Black Hero’ and ‘Cairo’ – Anna’s artful collection evokes drama in the vase or grouped together in pots.
Grow against a dark painted wall or fence to really bring these vibrant tulips to life.
This collection contains 5 or 10 bulbs each of:
- Tulip 'Black Hero'
- Tulip 'Cairo'
- Tulip 'Copper Image'
- Tulip 'Slawa'
- Tulip 'Uncle Tom'
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.
