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.

Tulipa 'Indeland'
New in 2017 - As recommeded by Which Gardening in 2018
We saw this variety being trialled in Holland a few 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....
Tulipa 'Jacuzzi'
New in 2021
We first encountered this stunning tulip in Holland back in 2015, long before it was commercially available. We are delighted to have stock for this season. The outsides of the petals are the very palest silver-lilac imaginable but open to reveal a more complex inner, with deeper, painterly tones of lilac suffusing from a violet-blue base and near-black anthers. Contrasting dark stems...

New in 2020
One of the newer, so-called 'Coronet' 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 flowers...

Pack of 50 for £39.00
Tulipa 'Paul Scherer' AGM
Beautifully formed flowers of near-black have a rich, velvety sheen and undertones of burgundy-pink become visible with the light behind the petals. Although we use other 'black' tulips where they are appropriate, this is our personal out & out favourite. The flowers are wider than other, more pointed, blacks, so the overall effect is - blacker. A glorious backdrop for the cooler pinks &...
Tulipa 'Pretty Princess'
We trialled this on the farm a few years ago and found it to be a delightful new tulip - great for both containers and for the front of a border. The flowers are bright pink, with darker flaming, and have the rare attribute of a silver edge to the leaves. It has the popular 'Princess Irene' in its heritage and has the same flowering time and height.

Tulipa 'Prinses Margriet'

Pack of 50 for £31.50
Tulipa 'Red Dress'
New in 2022
Following in the footsteps of the popular established varieties 'Picture' & 'White Liberstar', is this rich red version of the crown tulip. The unique shape of this form of tulip results in flowers with extra thick petals, which are both robust and long-lasting. The flower buds start off much like the furled buds of a hybrid tea rose, opening to the typical 'crown' shape.

Tulipa Rem's Favourite' ('Zurel')
Striking, 'Rembrandt'-type tulip, sporting maroon-purple flaming on a white ground.
The flaming intensifies as the flowers mature - stunning at every stage. 'Rem's Favourite' (Zurel) is early to flower & long-lasting. All the glamour of the old Rembrandt tulips minus the virus!

Tulipa 'Request'
We first encountered this tulip in the north of Holland some years ago, when it was quite new, and were intrigued by the unusual colour. At the time is was known as 'Quest' and the grower cut some flowers for us to bring home with us. We love it for its wonderful, tapered flowers, in a most unusual blend of copper-orange, flushed rose-mauve on the outside of the petals. The bonus of scent too!

Tulipa 'Slawa'
We have adored this tulip since first trialling it in our borders a few years ago. The colour seems to work well with any other warm hues - apricot, bronze, orange. We have used it in containers also for the past couple of years, combined with the shorter 'Copper Image' - a match made in heaven. Flowering in late April/early May at 20" (50cm).

Is any colour combination cooler than green and white? The subtle colouring of this recent introduction will bring a sense of calm to plantings and also makes an excellent cut flower.
