Warm copper-rose tones and fully double blooms make for a wonderful double early flowering tulip. It is also pictured here with 'Amazing Grace', which makes a great planting partner, flowering at the same time and height. This year, we also tried it in terracotta pots with the taller 'Slawa', which has the same copper-rose tone at the edges of its darker blooms - a fantastic combination! Flowering...

We subsequently supplied bulbs to Gardening 'Which' for their bulb trials, where it won a 'Best Buy' award.The double flowers are in warm tones of pink/rose/white and are held up beautifully on strong stems. It is a little taller than most tulips in this group.  Flowering in April at 16" (40cm) Bulb...

Softly double flowers of an arrestingly unusual salmon-pink.

Remarkable new variety, with fully petalled flowers of claret, feathering out into a broad white edge. Like a double form of 'Spitsbergen' (it comes from the same grower!). Despite the fullness of the flowers, they hold up well on strong stems. We always feel that tulips with such a strong presence are best used alone, or with a single colour tulip which picks up on one of their tones. They are particularly...

A vibrant orange tulip works wonderfully well in early spring, amongst all the freshly verdant foliage.'Orange Emperor' also has a strong streak of green to the outside of its own petals on newly opened flowers, with the orange intensifying as the blooms age. This is a variety which has stood the test of time, being both reliable and easy to grow.Flowering in April at 16" (40cm)Bulb size 12+ cmPack...

'Purissima' is a tulip of huge popularity (not least for municipal bedding schemes, which may be why we have always steered clear of it!). However, this new incarnation adds the dimension of beautifully variegated foliage, with leaves which sport clear, golden edges.
