double late tulip bulbs
- Position: full sun

- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: early May
- Hardiness: fully hardy
- Bulb size: 11/12
Big and blousy flowers, made up of gently ruffled, pink and apricot-blush petals, sit on top of short but sturdy stems - just begging to be picked! An excellent option for pots, it's also an easy to mix colourway that will team up with solid pinks, purple, burgundy, blush and even rose gold. - 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.
