Description

Like the most luxurious and brightly-coloured silk gowns, this stunning collection of tulips has been created to impress and will gently swing and sway in the spring garden, flaunting their beauty.

Featuring sweetly-scented, tangerine-orange flowers, tulip ‘Ballerina’ blooms with elegance and grace, its pointed petals outwardly curving at their tips as it opens. 

To flower at the same time in late spring and to compliment this fiery princess, is May-flowering tulip ‘Violet Ronaldo’ – a purple hued tulip which blooms in the classic goblet-shape we most associate with tulips.

Both varieties have wonderfully long stems and are excellent for cutting and adding to colourful spring floral designs.  Bright, acid-green foliage sets the colours off perfectly.

Care Guide

November is the optimum month for planting Tulip bulbs. The cooler late-autumn temperatures help to keep disease at bay, whilst still allowing time for your bulbs to put roots down before spring. Any well-drained, fertile soil is perfect for Tulips, ideally in full sun or part shade. Plant the bulbs 10-20cm deep, spaced 10-20cm apart. A piece of chicken wire or mesh can be placed on top of the soil or pots after planting if squirrels or rodents are a problem in your area. After flowering in March to May, remove withered stems, foliage and any fallen petals to promote good plant health and apply a top dressing of high-potash fertiliser in late winter.
