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.
