Soft petalled variety of tulips. Curled and twisted petals serrated at edges. Flowering mid May. Size 10-11 cms.

Planting Guide

Plant in fertile well drained soil in full sun, dwarf tulips like gritty soils, all tulips dislike excessive wet conditions, Plant tulips around 10-15 cm deep and allow around 50-60 per sq meter, Once they finish flowering dead head as soon as possible to prevent the seeds from growing, if left it will affect the flower production. Darwin Hybrid, Tulipa, Kaufmanniana and Griegii varieties can be left in the ground for a few years. For other varieties once the leaves have died down lift and clean, and remove the offsets, and allow them to ripen in a shed or greenhouse, you can replant the larger bulbs the following autumn, smaller offsets can be planted in a nursery bed to mature. Bulb rot may affect tulips planted in poorly drained soil. Aphids can carry virus from variety to variety. Apply high potash fertilizer during the growing period, this can be stopped once flowering has started, this will help promote the flower storage for the following year.
