Tulip 'Copex Pink'
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
I remember the first time I spotted this unique pink flower, with its tantalising glimpse of yellow at the base and shapely conical form
A member of the single-flowered Triumphs, this is a classic mid-season tulip with reliably long-lasting flowers.
Among all the many pinks trialled at Perch Hill, something sets this apart. Wonderfully stylish against a backdrop of grey-green foliage.
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.
