Tulip Carnaval De Rio 11-12cm
Tulip Hollandia 11-12cmProduct Description
Bring a swathe of red and white colour to your spring garden with this collection, which includes the flamboyant white streaked red Carnaval De Rio, and the smouldering deep red Hollandia. Both tulips are classically cup-shaped and emit a refreshingly light fragrance, with flower heads perched atop tall grey-green stems adorned with lance-shaped foliage (Carnaval De Rio boasts narrow white margins for added variation). This vibrant collection has been specially selected as this colour scheme works extremely well, and almost seems to glow in the sun's rays. Plant bulbs pointy side up, 15cm deep and water well. The collection includes 10 Carnaval De Rio (white streaked red) and 10 Hollandia (red). Top quality 11/12cm bulbs supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Tulip bulbs should be planted in autumn, before any frost. Find an area of soil that is well-drained and moist and plant your bulbs at twice their depth and spaced apart by 10-15cm. Ensure they are properly covered, you should not be able to see them on the surface of the soil. Position in an area that you know receives plenty of sunlight but is also sheltered from harsh winds. Deadhead the flowers once they wilt, encouraging a healthier plant.
