Tulip 'Fenna'
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
Bred from wild tulips found in the mountains of central Asia, clumps of star-shaped flowers open wide on short stems to attract pollinators
Rarely seen, and new to our range this year, ‘Fenna’ blends the best of vibrant colour with a more diminutive ‘wild’ aesthetic.
Suited to naturalising in well-drained soils, ‘Fenna’ also performs well in pots, raised up onto a table to allow you to appreciate its intricate beauty.
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.
