Fantastic, fully double, dark rose pink flowers with greenish-white bases in March and April and strap-like, grey-green leaves. These delightful double early tulips are one of the first varieties to flower. Standing up well in wind and rain they make a lovely early spring display for a sunny patio container or windowbox. - Garden care: From September to December plant the 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.
