Tulip Species Clusiana Peppermintstick
T1013

Eye-catching petals unfurl with an inner layer of cool white, enveloped by a band of cerise pink. Opening to a broad star on a sunny day, this animated botanical tulip bobs above fine, grass-like foliage.
These bicolour blooms enliven container displays, borders, and lawns, where the bulbs will naturalise readily. This vigorous variety has earnt itself the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its impressive, consistently reliable performance. Appearing mid-April, ‘Peppermintstick’ offers a sweet treat early in the season.

Ret. Pixie
M5601
A pretty and petite Iris, ‘Pixie’ belongs to the reticulata family and stands just 15cm tall making it an excellent choice for spring containers.
The superb flowers bloom in an eye-catching shade of violet-blue, featuring a white patch and bright yellow mid-rib on their falls.
Closely related to popular ‘Harmony,’ this exquisite variety has been recognised by the RHS with an Award of Garden Merit for plant excellence and reliable qualities.
The bulbs should be planted in autumn, in a spot which receives plenty of sun and in moisture retentive, well-drained soil. Great for alpine and rock gardens.
