Named in honour of its Dutch heritage, this candy pink visitor is most welcome in the borders at Perch Hill
Flowering from April into May to reveal stunning two-tone petals, edged in a refined paler pink, on long, sturdy stems ideal for the vase.
Will thrive in a sunny spot in well-drained soil, or plant densely in pots alongside earlier flowering varieties for successional colour.
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.
