New for 2024
We loved this so much when trialling it here in the garden that we had to add it to our ramge for this year. The peony shaped flowers are of richest cassis and , at just 12" (30cm), the perfect height for containers or front of border.

Tulipa 'Copper Image'
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...

Tulipa 'Foxtrot'

We subsequently supplied bulbs to Gardening 'Which' for their bulb trials, where it won a 'Best Buy' award.The double flowers are in warm tones of pink/rose/white and are held up beautifully on strong stems. It is a little taller than most tulips in this group. Flowering in April at 16" (40cm)

They are also the perfect height for containers.
