Charming by name and charming by nature, the paeony-like flowers of this double-late tulip form generous golden-apricot bowls, many of which have just a hint of green on their outer edges. It's an excellent choice for the home florist, and it can be grown in patio pots where space is at a premium. - 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.
