A very elegant, tall tulip that boasts creamy yellow, beautifully formed, mid season flowers. Plant it in big, bold swathes for oodles of spring colour and make sure you have enough left over to cut and bring inside.- 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.
