Tulipa 'Dream Touch'
We trialled this variety on the farm in spring last year, having already admired it at Keukenhof. The flowers are deep cerise with a white edge and look equally lovely planted in drifts or crammed into containers. We grow it with hyacinth 'Woodstock' and muscari 'White Magic'.

Tulipa 'Finola'
New in 2020
Fully double flowers which start off white with a hint of pink and with fresh green flaming to the backs of the petals. As the flowers mature, stronger, rosier pink tones emerge, creating a charming confection of white and pink shades. Flowering in late April/May at 15" (38cm). It is an excellent substitute for T. 'Angelique' which is not available this season.

Tulipa 'Pink Star'
We have loved and grown this variety ourselves for a number of years, so were delighted when we sourced stock for last year's catalogue. The good news is that we have stock once again for this season. The flowers are a wonderfully romantic blend of pink and peach, with a lovely loose form, rather reminiscent of tree peonies. They are also the perfect height for containers.

Tulipa 'Wyndham'
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...
Tulipa 'Orange Emperor'
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...
Tulipa 'Purissima Design'
'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. Attractive foliage is a huge (and rare) bonus with tulips, extending the season of interest considerably. Is proving reliably perennial...

Tulipa 'Curly Sue' AGM
Beautiful, charismatic tulip. The fringing is self-coloured but this colour changes subtly, both as the flower ages and in different qualities of light, producing shades of wine, from claret to burgundy.
We added this variety to our permanent tulip plantings when it first came out, over 20 years ago, and It has proved reliablly perennial. Flowering in April - May at 16" (40cm) Bulb size 12+ cm
