A sumptuous collection of rich red, purple and scarlet tulips for a complementary spring display or cutting vase.
In each collection you will receive the following:
- 10 × Tulipa 'Pallada': The strong stems of this triumph tulip are topped with sumptuous, rich red flowers, the petals of which have a satin-like sheen. Ideal for cutting, or for making an impact in the spring bedding scheme where it can be used to add depth, or offer a striking contrast to the colour palette. Grows to 60cm.
- 10 × Tulipa 'Ile de France': Glowing red, well-shaped flowers, each with a fine yellowish petal edge, top the stout stems in spring, adding vibrant colour to the bedding scheme. They last well (even in poor weather conditions) and are great for cutting. Mix with rich golds and orange shades, or tuck it in with deep purples for a dazzling display. Grows to 50cm.
- 10 × Tulipa 'Havran': Deep blackcurrant-coloured blooms with up to 3 flowers per stem appear in April. This has a similar colouring to the very popular Queen of Night tulip, but the flowers appear earlier on this variety. Therefore it is a great combination if you are looking to have an extended period of rich, deep colour in spring. Grows to 45cm.
