Description

This for me is like the tulip Trooping the Colour, all the most handsome Guardsmen lined up on either side of the main path of our cutting garden at Perch Hill. What a dream! This lot come back year after year and I look forward to it every time.

This collection contains 15 or 30 bulbs each of:
  • Tulip 'Ballerina'
  • Tulip 'Purple Heart'
  • Tulip 'Prinses Irene'
  • Tulip 'Doll's Minuet'
  • Tulip 'Continental'

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. Tulip 'White Valley' is a favourite for this.

Care Tips

After flowering leave the foliage to die back naturally if you want to reuse the bulbs.
