Tulipa 'Indeland'
New in 2017 - As recommeded by Which Gardening in 2018
We saw this variety being trialled in Holland a few years ago and set our sights on it there and then. The shape is informal and the colour absolutely stunning - purple with a centre rib of near black, flaring through burgundy to magenta, on the outside of each petal. We find such complex colouring totally beguiling and what tulips are all about....
Tulipa 'Jacuzzi'
We first encountered this stunning tulip in Holland back in 2015, long before it was commercially available. We are delighted to have stock for this season. 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 complete the...
Tulipa 'Kansas Proud'
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).

Tulipa 'Negrita Crown' ('Crown of Negrita')
One of the newer, so-called 'Coronet' or 'Crown' tulips. We have to confess to not liking all the introductions which have been made in this group - the shape can be untidy in some manifestations. However, the unique colour of 'Negrita' translates well into this style, making a really neat form. The virtue of the Coronets lies in the strength of their petals, which make for long-lasting...
Tulipa Orange Juice
New for 2024

Tulipa 'Paul Scherer' AGM
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 &...
Tulipa 'Pretty Princess'
We trialled this on the farm a few years ago and found it to be a delightful new tulip - great for both containers and for the front of a border. The flowers are bright pink, with darker flaming, and have the rare attribute of a silver edge to the leaves. It has the popular 'Princess Irene' in its heritage and has the same flowering time and height.

Tulipa 'Red Dress'
Following in the footsteps of the popular established varieties 'Picture' & 'White Liberstar', is this rich red version of the crown tulip. The unique shape of this form of tulip results in flowers with extra thick petals, which are both robust and long-lasting. The flower buds start off much like the furled buds of a hybrid tea rose, opening to the typical 'crown' shape.
Flowering in late April/May...
Tulipa 'Request'
We first encountered this tulip in the north of Holland some years ago, when it was quite new, and were intrigued by the unusual colour. At the time is was known as 'Quest' and the grower cut some flowers for us to bring home with us. We love it for its wonderful, tapered flowers, in a most unusual blend of copper-orange, flushed rose-mauve on the outside of the petals. The bonus of scent too!

Tulipa 'Slawa'
We have adored this tulip since first trialling it in our borders a few years ago. The colour seems to work well with any other warm hues - apricot, bronze, orange. We have used it in containers also for the past couple of years, combined with the shorter 'Copper Image' - a match made in heaven. Flowering in late April/early May at 20" (50cm).
