In each collection you will receive the following bulbs.
- 10 x Tulipa 'Aladdin': This lily-flowered tulip makes a wonderful addition to pots and containers, as well as adding style to the early summer bedding scheme. The petals are long and pointed and their red colouring is feathered with yellow towards the outer edges. Each flower has an hourglass shape, that gives them an elegant air. Grows to 50cm.
10 x Tulipa 'Johan Cruijff': Boasting champagne-coloured petals adorned with a subtle pink blush, 'Johan Cruijff' offers a vision of understated elegance that matures gracefully into a soft white hue. Named after the legendary Dutch football player and manager, its lily-shaped blooms unfold in creamy yellow tones, delicately transitioning to a gentle pink before culminating in a pristine white finale. Grows to 50 cm.
10 x Tulipa 'Ballerina': A lovely lily-flowered tulip with soft tangerine orange flowers, and a heady scent when warmed in the sun. This is a late spring-flowering tulip that looks stunning planted in bold drifts or growing up through forget-me-not flowers. Grows to 50 cm.
In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
