Orange really makes an impact in the border and as it catches the eye, it is particularly useful for larger gardens, or borders that are further away from the house. This gorgeous tulip will help to accentuate other colours, including purple, blue, plum or white, or simply add another dimension to a hot-themed border. - Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering deadhead and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
