Scented Tulips
When you think of tulips you may not always think of scent; but you should! We've selected three of the most strongly scented varieties, and it is no coincidence that there is an overriding ember theme, as these colours tend to be the most scented - plus they make for a harmonious display in the vase.
Collection includes 15 bulbs each of the following varieties:
- T. Annie Schilder (Triumph) - gorgeously perfumed, this attractive variety has bold orange blooms which are flushed pink at the edges
- T. Avignon Parrot (Parrot) - a bold and unusual flower shape and richly coloured with the added bonus of a delightful fragrance
- T. Ballerina (Lily-flowered) - very elegant with bright orange flowers with red flushes. Beautifully scented.
Plant your tulips between November and December at a depth of approximately 10-15cm/4-6in, approximately 20cm/8in apart, in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Planting sooner can result in frost damage to the growing shoot. We recommend dead-heading once the blooms begin to fade and feeding with a fertiliser for a few weeks for stronger bulbs next season.
