The perfectly formed flowers of this impressive tulip are a soft blend of orange, apricot and yellow, infused with the faintest blush of claret. Because of these tonal variations, which tend to become slightly more intense in warmer conditions, it makes them incredibly easy to mix. Robust and resistant to poor weather conditions, it's great for borders or pots - and as it produces its flowers in the middle of the season, it's ideal for tying in both the early and late display. - Garden care: 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 deadhead 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.
