Tulipa 'Ile de France'
Lovely.clear red blooms and a classic tulip shape. So many 'red' tulips tend towards orange - this is a cooler red and more sophisticated for it. Flowering in April - May at 20" (50cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 for £7.00 Pack of 30 for £20.00
Tulipa 'Indeland'
We saw this variety being trialled in Holland some years ago and set our sights on it there and then. The shape is informal and the colour absolutely stunning - purple with a centre rib of near black, flaring through burgundy to magenta, on the outside of each petal. We find such complex colouring totally beguiling and what tulips are all about. We supplied bulbs to Which Gardening who gave the...

Tulipa 'Negrita Crown' ('Crown of Negrita')
One of the newer, so-called 'Coronet' or 'Crown' 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...
