Tulipa 'Apricot Beauty' AGM
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

Tulipa 'Candy Prince'
We fell in love with this tulip at Keukenhof this Spring. Seeing the flowers, of a most delicate lavender, massed under cherry trees, was a 'stop in your tracks' moment. 'Which' Gardening Magazine agreed with us, voting it a 'Best Buy', after trialling it in containers.
Flowering in April at around 14" (36cm).

Tulipa 'Salmon Prince'
Recent addition to the 'Prince' series of short, early flowering tulips. We loved the warm, sunset tones of this variety - the flowers are lit from within with yellow-gold, whilst the ouside of the petals are burnished with rich copper-salmon. Flowering in April at 14" (35cm).
Bulb size 12+ cm

Tulipa 'Avignon'
Richly coloured flowers of flame-orange with a hint of deep rose. One of the 'French' tulips, which are tall, beautifully coloured and harmonise well with each other. We grow 'Avignon' with 'Menton' to great effect, especially when combined with 'Fire King' wallflowers.
Flowering in late April - May at 24" (60cm)
Bulb size 12+ cm

Pack of 50 bulbs for £37.00
Tulipa 'Bleu Aimable'
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...
Tulipa 'Dordogne'
Salmon pink flowers, suffusing out to gold at the petal edges. Blends beautifully with other 'French' tulips, such as 'Menton' & 'Avignon', which also have the same flowering time & height (late April/May, 24" (60cm).
Bulb size 12+ cm
Pack of 10 bulbs for £7.50
Pack of 50 bulbs for £35.00
Tulipa 'Maureen' AGM

Tulipa 'Menton' AGM
Lovely, elegant tulip, with flowers in a delicious blend of pale apricot and pink. Height is statuesque and it looks wonderful if you have large containers to fill. One of the 'French' tulips, bred for the cut flower market in that country. Flowering in late April - May at 24" (60cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 for £7.50

Tulipa 'Queen of Night'
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 50 for £33.00
Pack of 100 for £51.00

Bulb size 12+
Pack of 10 for £11.50
Pack of 50 for £55.00
Tulipa acuminata
This is a tulip which needs careful placement to ensure that its effect is not overpowered by its surroundings. Giving it a background of dark foliage can be successful, as can planting it sparsely through grass which is not over-lush. Bulb size 8+ cm
