If you really do fancy a dark and mysterious bloom, then our Tulip Ronaldo is a perfect pick. It’s simple in shape, but makes up for it in its dark red wine colour. Gorgeous in the spring garden, especially when grown in large groups. If you prefer a more pastel or muted shade, may we suggest Tulip Cummins? It’s a Parrot Tulip that produces light purple petals, each decorated with a delicate hem of creamy white.
