Tulip Peppermint Stick 5/6cm

Product Description

‘Peppermint Stick’ is a beautiful red-and-white hybrid Tulip, prized for its eye-catching display despite a compact size. Reaching around 30 cm in height with a spread of 10 cm, its neat habit is perfectly suited to low borders, rockeries and patio containers. In early spring, slender, upright foliage produces narrow, pointed blooms that open gradually into vibrant star shapes, revealing white tepals marked with cerise on the outer faces and a striking dark, bluish centre.

This Tulip thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade, performing best in fertile, well-drained soil. Regular watering during dry spells encourages robust growth, while spent flowers can be removed to maintain tidiness. Its elegant stems and long-lasting blooms also make it an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements.

‘Peppermint Stick’ pairs beautifully with early-spring perennials and bulbs of contrasting colour and texture. Low-growing forget-me-nots, delicate scillas or soft pastel primulas create layered, eye-catching borders, while the bold red-and-white blooms stand out against fresh green foliage, adding structure and visual interest to rockeries and containers.
