Very pretty pink tulip. The colour is deeper at the base, fading towards the petal edges. This variety has been used to great effect at the Alnwick Garden, planted en-masse below flowering cherries. In our own borders, it has been reliably reflowering for several years now. Flowering in April - May at 20" (50cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 for £6.00 Pack of 50 for £28.50

 Late arrival! This new variety is a 'cooler' and paler version of 'Mistress'. Impressive at Keukenhof this year, where it really glowed on a wet, overcast day. Flowering in late April to 20" (50cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 bulbs for £7.00 Pack of 50 bulbs for £33.00

Wonderful colour - doge purple veined beetroot purple. Reliable, long-lasting performer, which naturalises well. We love it grown through the pink cow parsley, chaerophyllum hirsutum Roseum.

New in 2020 One of the newer, so-called  'Coronet' tulips. We have to confess to not liking all the introductions which have been made in this group - the shape can be untidy in some manifestations. However, the unique colour of 'Negrita' translates well into this style, making a really neat form. The virtue of the Coronets lies in the strength of their petals, which make for long-lasting flowers...

NEW for 2023 We love an orange tulip - such a brilliant foil for the fresh greens of spring foliage. This new variety is a bronze-orange and a sturdy grower. Flowering in April - May at 18" (45cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 for £8.50 Pack of 50 for £39.00

We trialled this on the farm a few years ago and found it to be a delightful new tulip - great for both containers and for the front of a border. The flowers are bright pink, with darker flaming, and have the rare attribute of a silver edge to the leaves. It has the popular 'Princess Irene' in its heritage and has the same flowering time and height. Flowering in April - May at 14" (36cm) Bulb size...

Petals of marigold orange, flamed with burnt amber-purple. Deservedly a very popular tulip. Flowering in April - May at 14" (36cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 for £8.50 Pack of 50 for £40.50

Burnt orange/purple flaming on a yellow ground - a lovely combination. Try growing this variety with 'Hermitage' and 'Prinses Irene', which have the same flaming against harmonising ground colours. Rarely available. Flowering in April - May at 14" (36cm) Bulb size 11/12 cm Pack of 10 for £7.00  Pack of 50 for £31.50

Striking, 'Rembrandt'-type tulip, sporting maroon-purple flaming on a white ground. The flaming intensifies as the flowers mature - stunning at every stage. 'Rem's Favourite' (Zurel) is early to flower & long-lasting. All the glamour of the old Rembrandt tulips minus the virus! Flowering in April - May at 20" (50cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 bulbs for £10.50 Pack of 50 bulbs for...

We first encountered this tulip in the north of Holland some years ago, when it was quite new, and were intrigued by the unusual colour. At the time is was known as 'Quest' and the grower cut some flowers for us to bring home with us. We love it for its wonderful, tapered flowers, in a most unusual blend of copper-orange, flushed rose-mauve on the outside of the petals. The bonus of scent too! Flowering...

Rich, velvety blooms of cranberry-red. We grow this variety, along with the double late tulip 'Uncle Tom', behind dark-foliaged heucheras, to great effect. Flowering in April - May at 16" (40cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Lower Prices than 2022 Pack of 10 for £5.00 Pack of 50 for £20.50

We have adored this tulip since first trialling it in our borders a few years ago. The colour seems to work well with any other warm hues - apricot, bronze, orange. We have used it in containers also for the past couple of years, combined with the shorter 'Copper Image' - a match made in heaven. Flowering in late April/early May at 20" (50cm). Bulb size 11/12 cm Pack of 10 bulbs for £6.00 Pack...

New in 2020 Striking new variety. The flowers have a rich claret base, feathering out into a broad white edge.
