A great mid-tone pink that is vibrant enough to add dollops of bright colour to softer shades, but it's also useful for showcasing bolder colours - or even tying the two together. A classically shaped tulip, it's elegant and versatile. - 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.
