- 10 × Tulipa 'Mondial': Peony-like flowers, which are made up of lots of lightly feathered pure white petals, top the stems of this double early tulip. The flowers have a light scent too, so plant them in a border near a seating area or path - or pot them up for the patio. Grows to 35cm tall.
- 10 × Tulipa 'Rems Favourite': If you like bi-coloured flowers then you will love this beautiful triumph tulip. They have large, open ivory-white cup shaped petals with beetroot-purple flaming from the base in mid April. Triumph tulips are favoured for their traditionally shaped flowers and sturdy stems, which allow them to cope with bad weather, and they make excellent cut flowers. Grows to 60cm tall.
- 10 × Tulipa 'Negrita Double': Big, blousy blooms, which are a rich royal purple with bluish undertones, top stout stems, and look sublime when planted with softer lilacs - or most shades of pink. A relative of the ever-popular (single-flowered) 'Negrita' this new double form is also sure to be a big hit. Grows to 40cm tall.
- Garden care: From August to November plant the bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. While actively growing, keep them moderately well watered and remove the flowers after they have faded. At that stage a balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied each week for 4 weeks before they die down.
A gorgeous collection of complementary plum and purple flamed tulips framed by the peony-like ivory blooms of the classic 'Mondial'. All three varieties are stunning on their own but collectively they are breath-taking in a spring border display or cut flower vase.
In each collection you will receive the following:
- Humans: Harmful if eaten; skin allergen; Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
