- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: April to May
- Hardiness: fully hardy
- Bulb size: 11/12
Exquisitely shaped flowers with sugar pink petals that have a lustrous blue flush on the outer edges. The colouring is quite distinctive, and it makes these Darwin hybrid tulips (which are excellent for cutting), very easy to blend with blue and pink shades. - 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.
