Tulip Fancy Frills Collection - 30 Bulbs

• Beautiful mix of frilled petal tulip bulbs
• Flowers in mid to late spring
• Spectacular spring display
• Stunning as a cut flower
• Planting depth: 10-15cm

The Tulip ‘Fancy Frills’ Collection is a flamboyant mix of fringed varieties, including one parrot type tulip. These show-stoppers will make a focal point in your pots and borders and will look stunning as cut flowers.

The collection contains:

• Tulip Fancy Frills (10 bulbs): This compact tulip certainly is both fancy and frilly, with ivory petals heavily fringed and edged with rose-pink. Tulip 'Fancy Frills' looks beautiful in a container or towards the front of a border, and makes a lovely cut flower.
• Tulip Lilac Frizzle (10 bulbs): If you like tulips with a difference, you’ll love Tulip ‘Lilac Frizzle’, with its fantastically fringed satiny lilac blooms standing proudly on strong stems.
• Tulip Honeymoon (10 bulbs): Tulip 'Honeymoon' adds a touch of softness to borders in spring with its gleaming white blooms with delicately fringed petals, held on strong stems. Flowering in late spring, it contrasts beautifully with darker-coloured tulips and also looks very stylish planted in containers.

How you will receive your bulbs:

Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive the tulip bulbs in the autumn in a breathable mesh bag. This is to keep the bulbs together in a pack that is nice and airy – perfect to keep the bulbs healthy while in transit.

Can’t plant straight away?

Keep your bulbs in a cool, light, and dry place and preferably hanging on a hook so that air can get to the bulbs at all angles. Ideally, you should aim to plant your bulbs within a week of receiving them, but if this is not possible, store them in a cool, dark place until you are ready to plant them.

Planting tips and hints:

Planting in the ground: You can plant your bulbs any time between September and November. Dig a hole with a trowel or a bulb planter 3 times the depth of the bulb. Plant bulbs approximately 15cm apart. If your soil is heavy, mix in quality bulb compost and potting grit to give them the best start. Place the bulb in the hole with the tip facing upwards, then fill the hole and compact the soil gently. Water in to moisten the soil and apply a bone meal fertiliser to encourage flowering.

Planting in containers: Place a layer of stones or gravel at the bottom of a large container in order to aid drainage. Fill the container with bulb compost to approximately 20cm below the rim. Place bulbs approximately 5-8cm apart ensuring the tips face up. Fill the container to about 3cm from the top of the rim making sure to firm the compost between the bulbs. Water just enough to settle the soil, then place the container in a sheltered place over autumn and winter before moving into a sunny place when the shoots are around 5cm tall.

Feeding and aftercare: When feeding in spring, use a liquid feed high in potash so it gets to the growing bulb quickly, feeding the roots. Deadhead as soon as the flower fades to ensure energy is sent down back into the bulb. You will be able to leave the bulbs in the ground if your soil is free-draining and sandy.
