Tulips - Viridiflora
Always appealing, with their fresh splashes of green, the viridifloras are 'good mixers', helping to bring harmony to mixed colour schemes. Some varieties also have the virtue of a refined 'lily-flowered' outline - coolness & elegance combined.
Tulipa 'Artist' AGM
Subtle tones of apricot, broadly flamed with green. A lovely tulip and petite enough to stand up well in more exposed situations. Flowering in April - May at 12" (30cm)
Bulb size 12+ cm
Pack of 10 for £5.00
Pack of 50 for £21.00
Tulipa 'China Town' AGM
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.

Tulipa 'Green Spirit'
New in 2020
Is any colour combination cooler than green and white? The subtle colouring of this recent introduction will bring a sense of calm to plantings and also makes an excellent cut flower. The form is somewhat neater than 'Spring Green', with a slightly more flared outline, but there's not much in it between them. Flowering in late April/May at 18" (45cm).
