Tom's North Facing Border Bulb Collection
- Loved by Pollinators
- Naturalises
- Perfect for Pots
A bumper collection to provide colour from early March through to mid-May
I plant tulip varieties 'Ice Stick', 'Salmon Van Eijk', 'Blue Heaven', 'Continental', 'Salmon Jimmy' and 'Slawa' into the large terracotta pots to give a long succession of interest, and then add varieties 'White Valley' syn. 'Exotic Emperor' and T. sylvestris into ribbed zinc planters to weave through the border. A pot full of the wonderful and gloriously scented Narcissus 'Pipit' completes the look.
This collection contains:- 10 bulbs of Tulip 'White Valley' syn 'Exotic Emperor'
- 15 bulbs of Tulip sylvestris
- 10 bulbs of Tulip 'Ice Stick'
- 10 bulbs of Tulip 'Blue Heaven'
