With its delicate hue of pale lavender, 'Silver Cloud' exudes an ethereal charm, accentuated by a dark stem and subtle mid-vein that deepens slightly, evolving into a mesmerising lilac-white tinged with hints of pink as it matures. Paying homage to the iconic Rolls Royce model, this tulip adds a touch of elegance and shimmering beauty to any garden or container. Its graceful form and unique colour palette make it a standout choice, effortlessly complementing shades of purple, maroon, pink, white, and green.
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.
