Description

Enjoy classic springtime tulips in your garden, regardless of the space available. This bountiful mix of colours is a hardy solution for early to late spring blooms, thriving across a border, in a snazzy pot, or scattered through a rock garden. Supplied as a mixed set of 20 bulbs, size 6/7cm, featuring the following varieties:

  • 'Lilac Wonder' - A holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Tulip ‘Lilac Wonder’ boasts mauve-pink flowers, subtly pale on the inside, with a big and shouty yellow base. Grows up to H20cm x W10cm. Flowers April - May.
  • 'Chrysantha' - Also known as the ‘Golden Lady Tulip’, and for good reason, these blooms erupt in a yellow and red bicolour. Grows up to H20cm x W10cm. Flowers March - April.
  • 'Lizzy' - The most dramatic tulip of the lot! Each flower rises from the foliage on a straight stem, with six bright red petals that stretch in all directions, surrounding a dark, black centre. Grows up to H20cm x W20cm. Flowers April - May.
  • 'Saxatilis' - Such cheery tulips! ‘Saxatilis’ flowers are vibrant and eye-catching, with up to three blooms per stem, each in a soft lilac shade with a bright buttery yellow centre. Grows up to H15cm x W15cm. Flowers April - May.
  • 'Sylvestris' - The ‘Wild Tulip’. We’ll let you decide which feature is more attractive on this variety, the adorable sunshine yellow petals or the lemon scent released in spring? Grows up to H30cm x W20cm. Flowers March - April.
  • 'Tarda Dasystemon' - Elegant and star-shaped, these are tulip superstars! Gold flowers display soft white tips and contrast so well against the green foliage. Grows up to H20cm x W10cm. Flowers April - May.
  • 'Turkestanica' - This variety adds a touch of the wild side to the mix. Grey-green leaves act as a base for pointed white flowers, each yellow at the centre. Grows up to H30cm x W20cm. Flowers March - April.
Top Tips
Which way up? Usually pointy end up, but if you are not sure, plant the bulb on its side and it will eventually right itself.
Care Information

Tulip Planting Advice:

  • Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
  • Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
  • They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they’ll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
  • Leave them in the ground once they die back for flowers again next year.
  • While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
  • Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
  • If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.

Tulip Aftercare Advice:

  • Tulips can be planted as late as November, but it’s best to get your bulbs in the ground so that they can establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
  • Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
  • Water frequently and if in posts ensure that the compost doesn't dry out.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
