Each bulb produces full, layered flowers in a variety of shades, creating a lively and ever-changing display that brings texture and richness to spring planting. The mix is perfect for gardeners who want maximum visual impact with minimal effort.
Flowering from April to May and reaching around 45 cm in height, these tulips add depth and colour to borders, containers, and beds. The large, multi-petalled blooms create a luxurious look, making them ideal for both garden displays and eye-catching cut flower arrangements.

Gardener’s Tip
Plant bulbs between September and December, around 8 cm deep in well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position. For the best visual effect, plant in clusters or drifts, allowing the mixed colours to blend naturally for a fuller display.
Wear gloves when handling bulbs, as ornamental bulbs may cause skin irritation and can be harmful if ingested by pets. Double tulips benefit from sheltered planting positions, helping protect their large blooms from strong winds. Allow foliage to die back naturally so bulbs can store energy for the following season.
