Description

If I was to select one tulip from our discoveries from our trip to Holland and trials at Perch Hill last spring, I think it would be ‘Orange Marmalade’. As a Viridiflora, they’re the most perennial in a garden and their green flash makes them last more like a leaf than a flower in the vase, so they’re fantastic value. When you add that to the scale and drama of these whopper orange flashed green, citrus-fresh flowers, you’ll be bowled over.

Care Tips

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