The exact colour of these stunning tulips will vary as the white and purplish-pink streaks that run through each petal can vary in intensity. Some can be distinctly two-tone, like dollops of plum jam folded through whipped cream, while others will have a more muted colouring. An interesting (and rare) tulip that copes with bad weather and lasts well after being cut. - Garden care: From 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.
