Overview
Double Tulip ‘Foxtrot’
Tulip ‘Foxtrot’ is a charming double-flowered tulip known for its soft blend of pink and white petals arranged in lush, peony-like layers. The full blooms gradually open to reveal delicate colour transitions, giving the flowers a romantic and elegant appearance in the spring garden. Its graceful colouring makes it a perfect companion for other pastel tulips and spring bulbs.
Flowering from April to May and reaching around 45 cm in height, ‘Foxtrot’ adds both softness and structure to garden borders and containers. The luxurious double blooms also make wonderful cut flowers, bringing fresh spring beauty and gentle fragrance indoors.

Gardener’s Tip
Plant bulbs between September and December, about 8 cm deep in well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position. Double tulips perform best in locations that provide some shelter from strong spring winds, helping protect their large layered flowers.
Wear gloves when handling bulbs, as ornamental bulbs can cause skin irritation and may be harmful if ingested by pets. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally so the bulb can store energy for healthy growth and blooms the following year.
