Product Description
This unusual lily-flowering tulip boasts wonderfully bright magenta-red petals which are each flushed with a sleek green stripe. Broad, lance-shaped leaves act as a contrasting backdrop beneath showy red flower heads. We recommend planting Dolls Minuet in a large clump of 10 or 12 for a dramatic showcase. With its flared blooms and slender petals, this tulip is sure to bring energy and vibrancy to any spring garden. Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

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.
