  A lovely late flowering, peony shaped, double lilac-purple tulip. The flowers can grow into big rounded globes roughly 10cm in diameter so it really packs a punch in the border.
  
  
• 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.
