Large flowers of pure white wih some green flaming. With its colouring bringing to mind a cockatoo rather than a parrot, this medium-height tulip works well on its own or as a highlight to a pastel scheme. Its gently rolled petals also add interest to container plantings.  Flowering in April - May at 16" (40cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 bulbs for £7.50 Pack of 30 bulbs for £21.50

Yellow flowers flushed orange-red and with black anthers. The flowers have an attractive  narrow form, with pointed petals. This multiflowered species, a native of Greece and Turkey, prefers a very sharply drained site, such as a scree bed. Height 7" (18cm). Bulb size 7/8 cm Pack of 10 for £3.00 Pack of 30 for £7.50

Velvety blooms open faded rose-purple, with a lighter base. As the flowers mature, they darken to rich cassis, with the white flaming from the base giving the subtle bloom of a ripe victoria plum.  Flowering in late April/May at 20" (50cm). Bulb size 12+ cm  Pack of 10 bulbs for £8.50 Pack of 30 bulbs for £24.00   

The parrot version of popular tulip 'Prinses Irene' really delivers, with robust flowers of vivid orange, flamed purple. A touch of green on the outer petals adds even more impact. Flowering in April at 14" (36cm). Bulb size 12/14 cm Pack of 5 bulbs for £6.50 Pack of 15 bulbs for £18.50  

The narrow, pointed petals of this variety give the flowers a unique, starry character. The blooms are a rich, deep purple, with darkest green flaming to the outside of the petals. A sport of 'Doll's Minuet'. Flowering in April/May at 18" (45cm). Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 bulbs for £6.00 Pack of 30 bulbs for £17.00

Remarkable new variety, with fully petalled flowers of claret, feathering out into a broad white edge. Like a double form of 'Spitsbergen' (it comes from the same grower!). Despite the fullness of the flowers, they hold up well on strong stems. We always feel that tulips with such a strong presence are best used alone, or with a single colour tulip which picks up on one of their tones. They are particularly...

Tones of ruby red and purple-black merge in a complex melange of rich colour in this fascinating variety. It rather wonderfully fills the gap for a dark tulip a little earlier in the season and is short enough to work well in containers. Flowering from mid-April at 12-14" (30-32.5cm). Bulb size 12/14 cm Pack of 5 bulbs for £5.50 Pack of 15 bulbs for £15.50

Pure white flowers with elegantly reflexed petals - a lovely variety which is both long-stemmed and weather resistant. Whites can be cool & classy on their own or used to add highlights to mixed planting schemes. Flowering in April - May at 20" (50cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 5 bulbs for £5.50 Pack of 15 bulbs for £15.00

We first encountered this stunning tulip in Holland back in 2015, long before it was commercially available. We are delighted to have had stock for the last few seasons. The outsides of the petals are the very palest silver-lilac imaginable but open to reveal a more complex inner, with deeper, painterly tones of lilac suffusing from a violet-blue base and near-black anthers. Contrasting dark stems...

Deep velvet maroon-black flowers with a satin sheen to the petals. Probably the darkest of the maroon-black tulips available, this reliable variety is wonderful for bringing a note of drama to 'warm' colour schemes, which echo its own red undertones. Flowering in April - May at 20" (50cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 5 bulbs for £5.00 Pack of 15 bulbs for £13.50

Warm copper-rose tones and fully double blooms make for a wonderful double early flowering tulip. It is also pictured here with 'Amazing Grace', which makes a great planting partner, flowering at the same time and height. This year, we also tried it in terracotta pots with the taller 'Slawa', which has the same copper-rose tone at the edges of its darker blooms - a fantastic combination! Flowering...

A unique colour in tulips - there really is no other to compare to the deliciously pretty peach tones of 'Apricot Beauty'. Although classified as an 'early', it performs at the latter end of this season, effectively overlapping with the mid-season tulips. Flowering in April at 18" (45cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 5 for £5.00 Pack of 15 for £14.00

Beautifully formed flowers of near-black have a rich, velvety sheen and undertones of burgundy-pink become visible with the light behind the petals. Although we use other 'black' tulips where they are appropriate, this is our personal out & out favourite. The flowers are wider than other, more pointed, blacks, so the overall effect is - blacker. A glorious backdrop for the cooler pinks &...

Sought-after old variety (dating from 1916) with neat flowers of cool, lavender-blue. It gave rise to the sport 'Blue Parrot' but is itself hard to come by now. We love to grow it with the dark 'Paul Scherer'. 'Bleu Aimable' has often been justly claimed to be the 'bluest' of the so-called 'blue' tulips, along with its sport 'Blue Parrot'. We find it to be reliably perennial, as might be expected...

Flowers of phlox pink, fading to nearly white at the edges, are strongly flamed with fresh green. The leaves are banded silver-white. Very beautiful variety which, at a height of just 1' (30cm) is ideal for fronting borders, edging paths and for container planting. See our note against hyacinth 'Carnegie' for a great planting partnership. Flowering in late April - May at 12" (30cm) Bulb size 12+...
