  The soft colouring of this triumph tulip makes it easy to mix with a wide range of colours. It is also one of the best for cutting, so make sure you plant oodles of them. Their traditionally shaped flowers take bad weather in their stride and are made up of soft pinkish-lavender petals that have slightly paler edges.
  
  
• Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
