Resembling the tulips of Dutch Master still-life paintings, the picturesque blooms of ‘Helmar’ are a true work of art. Decorated with dramatic streaks from a primary-colour palette, flames of ruby red lick up canary yellow petals.

Rem's Favourite
T1387
With petals of crisp white meringue drizzled with rich crème de cassis, ‘Rem’s Favourite’ is a stunning mid-season tulip. The name of this variety is a nod to the artist Rembrandt who was born in the city of Leiden, the hub of ‘tulip mania’ in the 17th Century. Along with other Old Dutch Masters, Rembrandt depicted these highly prized bicolour flowers in his paintings. This extraordinary, intricately patterned cultivar will be an asset to your borders and containers. The elegant, triumph blooms are held aloft on long, strong stems, providing an equally glamorous cut flower for the house.
