Get ready to salsa with this flamboyant fringed tulip. A blend of pink, apricot and magenta, ‘Tulip Sunset Miami’ is an eye-catching, hip-swaying colour combination whose fringe-tipped flowers are held on sturdy stems. Great for impact in the cutting vase, but equally vibrant when partying in beds and borders until the sun goes down. - 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.
