This classic mix of pink shades, which range from blush to soft damson, look wonderful when drifted through the front of a sunny border, or when used to fill pots on the terrace.
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.
- 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.
