Angelique
T1812
Often mistaken for a fragrant, ruffled paeony rather than a tulip, ‘Angelique’ is a romantic-looking, soft-pink paeony-tulip.
The apple-blossom pink blooms open fully during April and May and make stunning cut flowers for pretty spring arrangements. Cut or pull the stems before buds fully open for a long vase-life.
Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the RHS, ‘Angelique’ is a remarkable tulip which looks particularly effective when the bulbs are nestled closely together in pots and planted as a drift in the border.
Combine with fellow ice-cream shades for an angelic display, or with dark purple hues for delectable contrast.

Avant Garde
T1837
Tulip ‘Avant Garde’ is a fresh, buttery-yellow paeony-flowered tulip. The sumptuous creamy blooms emit a delicate fragrance when they open in April and resemble large blowsy roses, or camellias.
Plant a sea of these beauties for a heavenly vision when they bloom in spring and fill vintage containers for pretty displays. Particularly beautiful when planted cheek to cheek with soft blue, lavender and pink hues.
The flowers are excellent for cutting and adding a lemony ruffle to bouquets and arrangements.

Blue Diamond
T1814
Starting life as a saturated shade of violet-pink and fading to silvery lavender-blue with delicate veining, the larger than average blooms of tulip ‘Blue Diamond’ are an unmissable treat for the late spring garden.
Breath-taking when planted en masse in blocks and ribbons, and brilliant for spring containers, paeony-tulip ‘Blue Diamond’ is a perfect cut flower, ageing with grace both in the vase and in the garden.
Bright spring green foliage will intensify the colours as will orange and yellow hues.
