Tulips

Please note that the tulip bulbs we supply are of the top size available, which is 12+ cm, except for species tulips & a very few (usually new) varieties where 11/12 is the only available size. This is particularly important when you are comparing not just price, but also the superior display that a 12+ cm bulb will produce (Blom's gold medal winning displays at Chelsea use 12+ sized bulbs). Quoting 'top sized bulb' is not enough - you need to ask what size that actually is, before making comparisons.  If no size is quoted, you can assume it is either 11/12 or even smaller. 

We offer border tulips in a minimum quantity of 10, to accommodate those with smaller gardens and to allow new varieties to be tried out. We do strongly recommend, however, that, wherever possible, you plant in larger numbers for real impact.  

UPDATE - JULY 2024 - Some tulip varieties are still showing "Order from 1st July". We are srill waiting confirmation of availability and cost from one of our growers so we'll be updating these in the next few days. This is proving to be the most difficult year for tulip growers in our experience. Our suppliers are striving to fulfil our orders as we originally placed them (for top-sized, 12+ bulbs) but are unable to guarantee that this will be the case. As always, all orders we accept from customers are subject to harvest. Where the quality of available stock means that we feel unable to supply, or where the size of bulb available is different from that shown on our website, we will advise customers before despatching. The market situation has, inevitably, pushed prices up considerably this season, with even smaller sized bulbs selling at much higher prices than usual. Our best advice to customers is to order early and on the generous side, to mitigate for any fallouts in supply.
