Often grown in the trade for its cut flowers, which last well in the vase, this gorgeous maroon-pink tulip is overlaid with a soft blush. This creates a subtle whirl of colour, that makes it easy to mix with both stronger and paler shades. It's a good all-rounder because it works well in pots or borders. - 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.
