A delicate and dainty selection of sugar-dusted pinks with cream undertones utilises the contrast in flower form to elegant effect. A sophisticated collection for those seeking a combination of perfectly matched blooms in a cut-flower or spring border display.
In each collection you will receive the following:
7 × Tulipa 'Sanne': Initially the large flowers are a blend of warm pink and cream, but as they age the petals start to take on a warm peachy tone, creating an exquisite bloom that makes a big impact. It looks great when teamed with antique shades. Grows to 45cm.
10 × Tulipa 'Pretty Love': Grows to 50cm.
10 × Tulipa 'Mistress':Elegant and understated, this sugar pink triumph tulip is one of the best pink tulips. The long-lasting flowers have a classic shape and sit on sturdy, upright stems that cope well with wind and rain. It looks great in mass plantings and their delicate mix of both pale and deeper pink on each petal means that they are easy to mix with many other shades. Grows to 50cm.
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.
