Duo of double tulips collection (2 + 1 FREE collections | 60 bulbs)

Colour for the border or the vase. Position: Full sun Soil: Moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil Flowering period: March to May Hardiness: Fully hardy Forming generous flowerheads, which are packed with petals, these two popular varieties will put on a long-lasting display. In each collection you will receive the following: 10 × Tulipa 'Angélique': Soft pink, bowl-shaped flowers, flushed with both paler and darker shades, appear in April and May. From a distance, you could easily mistake these showy tulips for peonies - and as they're usually one of the last tulips into flower, they are a good choice if you want to prolong a bedding display. Grows to 45cm tall. 10 × Tulipa 'Blue Diamond': Despite the name, the flower colour is more purple than blue, but they also have a subtle silvery lustre. The larger than average size of the fully double blooms will also pack a pretty impressive punch when woven through the border or used in pots. A good mixer, it goes well with most pinks and purples as well as deep plum. Grows to 45cm tall. Garden care: From August to November plant the bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. While actively growing, keep them moderately well watered and remove the flowers after they have faded. At that stage a balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied each week for 4 weeks before they die down.
