This collection of complementary tulips features a mix of pale yellow, bi-coloured maroon and purple varieties, each with unique flower forms, creating an interesting and vibrant display perfect for cut flower vases or adding a burst of colour to any spring flower border.



In each collection you will receive the following:


• 10 × Tulipa 'Attila': The flowers of this stunning tulip are initially a rich violet-purple, but as they age and the petals open, they take on red and pink tones. Like other Triumph tulips, it has sturdy stems that tend to hold up well in poor weather conditions, and it is also excellent for cutting. Grows to 50cm.
  
  
• 10 × Tulipa 'Elegant Lady': A champagne glass-fluted tulip with pointed, pale yellow petals and tinted tips of pale violet. ‘Elegant Lady’ produces wonderfully complementary blooms held on sturdy stems from mid to late spring for the border and the cutting vase. Grows to 45cm.
  
  
• 10 × Tulipa 'Groenland': Semi-fluted green-flushed pink flowers top stout, upright stems in late spring, creating a very pretty contrast to both paler and stronger pinks, and offering a pleasant harmony to lush greens. As the flowers last so well after being cut, they are popular with florists and make handsome additions to the vase. Grows to 45cm.
  
  
• 10 × Tulipa 'Rems Favourite': If you like bicoloured flowers then you will love this beautiful triumph tulip. They have large, open ivory white cup-shaped petals with beetroot purple flaming from the base in mid-April. Triumph tulips are favoured for their traditionally shaped flowers and sturdy stems, which allow them to cope with bad weather. They also make excellent cut flowers. Grows to 60cm.



• Garden care:
  Using fresh, good-quality compost, plant bulbs in pots from September to November. For borders, we advise waiting until after the first frosts (typically mid-October to early December depending on your location) to reduce the risk of potential disease such as Tulip Fire. Plant bulbs 15-20cm (6-8in) deep and 10-15cm (4-6in) apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq or 60-75 bulbs per m². If you’re unable to plant your bulbs immediately, they can be stored in a cool environment with good air circulation. Remove all the packaging and place them in a loose-weave jute sack before labelling and hanging up in a dry, unheated garden shed or well-ventilated greenhouse.
  
  In spring, when the plants are in active growth, apply a high-potash fertiliser (like Tomorite) each week until the leaves start to die back. Pinch off the spent flower heads as the petals fall, and let the stem and foliage die back naturally. The bulbs can then be lifted and discarded, or cleaned, dried and stored (as before) for replanting the following autumn.
