Generally suitable for garden, rockery, raised bed or border in a well drained warm soil in full sun, Flowering March to May plant some the bulbs about 10cm deep.
Rarely offered, deep rose coloured flowers on 10cm stems in April. For its beauty and our own sentimental reasons Tulipa aucheriana is one of our favourite bulbs in the alpine garden. Given a warm sunny aspect, raised bed or large trough it will look an absolute picture in mid April.
Another relatively new and very distinct form of clusiana with large upright flowers, the inner petals are yellow/orange with slight red feathering, the outer petals dark red with darker central line. Flowers end of April to mid May, 20cm tall, fully hardy.
Thank goodness not all our bulbs have such long names, however this variety is quite unique by name AND outstanding in appearance. Large white flowers with a deep steel-blue base in April, 10cm.
Marvellous dwarf hybrid to only 10cm tall in April with startling flowers, lightly fragrant, brilliant copper-orange, suffused yellow towards then centre with a very dark blue-black centre cross. Stunning.
