Pure white blooms encased in petals tinted on the reverse in carmine red, flushed yellow at the base.This variety remains compact, growing only to 20cm, making it perfect for pots, rockery's and boarders.

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.
