Mid Season Tulip Jimmy

With its soft lilac blooms, Early Single ‘Candy Prince’ resembles the iconic Parma Violet sweet. Each dainty petal is finely etched with deeper purple feathering, enhanced by a backdrop of silver-green foliage. Unlike some of the more gregarious tulips, this variety has a demure, muted air and makes an excellent partner to stronger characters such as ‘Negrita’.

Alone, the subtle, pale blooms of tulip ‘Candy Prince’ bring a feeling of cool peace and tranquillity to borders and container displays. Despite its delicate looks, sturdy stems remain robust even in inclement weather. Be sure to snip a few stems to enjoy the calming, pastel shades indoors.

A majestic white Allium, ‘Mount Everest’ towers above most plants in the summer border, with straight and elegant stems, over a metre in height.

Pure white blooms with green stamens are clustered in a globe formation at the tips of stems, adding wonderful shape and a striking silhouette to garden spaces, complementing virtually any plants which surround them.  Use this invaluable Allium towards the back of the border where it will hold a starring role for months on end.  The heads of Allium ‘Mount Everest’, like many other large varieties, can be left on the plants to fade naturally, adding interest and texture during the winter months.

Excellent as a cut flower, both fresh and dried.
