Though staking a claim to be the bluest tulip yet, this is not actually a true blue, but a sort of pinky-purple with lavender tones - and it has a generous outline of white. The petals gently curve inwards and create a slightly tapered bowl, which looks particularly good planted next to pure white tulips. - 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.
