Tulip Species Praestans Shogun
T1018
‘Praestans Shogun’ brings invaluable spring cheer with joyful, marigold yellow petals flecked with saffron orange. These early birds burst with energy – one of the first to herald the warmer days of spring, this botanical tulip produces prolific blooms, opening its petals fully in the sunshine.
Accentuated by strapping, blue-green leaves, these multi-headed lemon drops are a wonderful addition to your borders, rockeries, containers, and lawns. Monty Don of ‘Gardeners’ World’ chose this variety to plant in naturalising drifts along his ‘Cricket Lawn’ and expressed delight at their early, abundant display.

Clusiana Cynthia
T1002
Otherwise known as the ‘golden lady tulip’, ‘Clusiana Cynthia’ is a petite, gilded beauty, exuding elegance and style. Flashes of raspberry red and chartreuse green are painted on a buttercup yellow background. Elongated, pointed buds open to fluted, star-shaped blooms on slender stems above fine foliage.
Despite a refined appearance, this Species tulip is resilient and vigorous, boasting the accolade of an RHS Award of Garden Merit for reliability in the garden. These enchanting blooms are perfect for filling patio pots for an early display, and to dot amongst grass and borders for a tapestry of colour as the bulbs gradually naturalise.
