Description
A bulb combination by my Dutch garden designer friend, Carien Van Boxtel which I went to Keukenhof to see last spring. A sea of apricot and cream, with a splash of mulberry, this has refined and sophisticated shapes and colours for two months through. And it is a very perennial collection. Grow this right by your back door to enjoy it for months not weeks, or fill your pots and window-boxes with a life-enhancing mix.
This collection contains:
- 25 bulbs of Tulip 'Apricot Foxx'
- 25 bulbs of Tulip 'Concerto'
- 25 bulbs of Tulip 'Ronaldo'
- 5 bulbs of Camassia leichtlinii 'Sacajawea' (v)
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.
