A soft and romantic blend of pinks and antique shades that are easy to incorporate into most colourways.
In each collection you will receive the following:
- 10 × Tulipa 'Angelique': Delicate soft pink, double, bowl-shaped flowers, flushed with both paler and darker shades of pink, appear in April and May. These pretty, peony-flowered tulips will benefit from a little protection from strong winds. Grows to 45cm tall.
5 × Tulipa 'Danceline': Forming large, many-petalled, bowl-shaped flowers, which top super-strong upright stems, 'Danceline' is great for jazzing up borders or pots. The flowers themselves are an interesting mix of subtle colour. When they first unfurl from bud, many of the petals are a rich cream, and some have splashes of green on their outer edges. Then as the flowers mature, their colour lightens and they occasionally take on a pinkish blush, but their most distinctive feature is the irregular raspberry daub that tips some of the petals. A real tulip to watch as the season progresses because you get something different almost every day! Grows to 40cm tall.
5 × Tulipa 'La Belle Epoque': Large, many-petalled flowers appear in late spring or early summer. Their unique colouring (pinkish-apricot becoming paler towards the outer edges of the petals), blends well with deeper pinks and shades of purple. Often called peony-flowered tulips, these beautiful blooms also make great cut flowers. Grows to 45cm tall.
10 × Tulipa 'Backpacker': Mauve-pink double petals surround golden stamens in this peony-like double late tulip. Borne aloft on sturdy stems from lush grey-green leaves, ‘Backpacker’ mixes beautifully with the darker plummy-purple gem of ‘Blue Diamond', and the papery-pink perfection of ‘Finola’. Grows to 30cm tall.
10 × Tulipa 'Vogue': A perfect, ‘pretty-in-pink’, double late variety tulip worthy of any attention at the end of April. Peony-ruffled petals, each with a lighter sugar-white dusting to the darker pink are held on sturdy, upright stems. 'Vogue' is a superior cover model candidate for the cutting vase, but only if you can bring yourself to remove them from beds, borders or patio pots, darling! Grows to 40cm tall.
10 × Tulipa 'Northcap': Grows to 50cm tall.
