This is an exquisite tulip (the photo doesn't really do it justice), which appears late in the season. Each of the petals is a subtle blend of creamy white and shades of pink, with just a hint of green. They form large, long-lasting flowers that mix with virtually any shade you could think of. - 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 deadhead 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.
- Humans: Harmful if eaten; skin allergen; Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten

I have purchased few varieties of tulips from crocus but few variety didn't flower at all and some of them one or two flowered. I also purchased tulips from different suppliers and had no problems.

Strong growing Tulips which open a pale pink but as they are grow into a deeper pink, each bloom is different from the next one. They have overwintered well and seem just as strong in their second year. Excellent value for money.

These were quite beautiful and lasted a long time. However they didn't come up for a second year.

A most beautiful strong tulip, a fantastic cut flower as well, can't wait to plant more in the autumn.

Tips of emerging leaves appear brown and scorched, and often shrivel and rot. The foliage soon becomes covered in a grey fungus. Brown spots appear on the leaves and flowers, which may also rot.

Spring bulbs, such as daffodils and hyacinths, can be planted whenever the soil conditions allow. As a rough guide, cover them with about twice as much soil as the bulb is deep: so that a 5cm (2in) deep bulb would need a 15cm (6in) deep hole so that it
