• Bloom time: Late spring, extending the tulip season.

• Size: The sturdy stems grow up to 18–20 inches tall, with flowers reaching up to 4 inches across.

• Recognition: The cultivar has been recognized with the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. 

Growing guide

• Planting time: Plant bulbs in the fall once soil temperatures consistently drop below 55°F.

• Location: Choose a spot with full sun and good air circulation. A protected location will help prevent wind damage to the stems.

• Soil: Use well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil. Avoid soggy areas, as excess moisture can cause bulb rot.

• Planting depth and spacing: Plant bulbs 6–8 inches deep and 4–6 inches apart. For a fuller display, plant in clusters of 10 or more.

• Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil. During dry spring periods, water as needed, but avoid overwatering.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer when planting and again in the spring as new foliage emerges.
