Early Double Tulip ‘Belicia’ produces stems of multiple fancy blooms which will billow in the spring breeze like the plumes of a cavalier hat. The stunning feather-like petals of tulip 'Belicia' emerge in a soft shade of primrose yellow, edged in carmine, and fade to raspberry-rippled ivory.

The show-stopping bouquet-flowering Tulips are an arresting sight when planted to bloom in wide swathes in the border. Plant taller tulips such as the rich and plummy ‘Black Hero’ and elegant ‘Queen of Night’ behind for complimentary colour and texture.

With multi-layered petals of multi-tonal pinks, the soft, silken blooms of Early Double ‘Foxtrot’ range from pale peach blossom through to deep rose.

The generous, lightly feathered flower heads of tulip Mondial are long-lasting, both in the garden and in the vase.
