Plant description

Create a sophisticated spring display with this carefully balanced tulip bulb collection, combining deep plum shades with softer silvered tones for a refined and atmospheric planting scheme. The rich colour palette brings depth and warmth to spring borders, patio pots and cottage garden planting, creating a display that feels both classic and contemporary.

The combination of sculptural flower forms adds plenty of interest, with velvety petals, layered double blooms and subtle tonal changes creating texture and movement. Planted together, these tulips complement each other beautifully, allowing the darker shades to provide contrast while the softer hues bring lightness and balance.

Perfect for weaving through perennial borders or filling containers, this spring bulb collection works well in both formal arrangements and more relaxed naturalistic planting schemes. The elegant blooms also make a wonderful addition to a cut flower garden, offering a stylish selection of stems for indoor displays.

Please note that any pots in the photographs are not supplied with the plants (which are sent out in simple nursery alternatives), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

Care guide

Using fresh, good-quality compost, plant bulbs in pots from September to November. For borders, we advise waiting until after the first frosts (typically mid-October to early December depending on your location) to reduce the risk of potential disease such as Tulip Fire.

Plant bulbs 15-20cm (6-8in) deep and 10-15cm (4-6in) apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq or 60-75 bulbs per 30cm sq or 60-75 bulbs per m². If you’re unable to plant your bulbs immediately, they can be stored in a cool environment with good air circulation. Remove all the packaging and place them in a loose-weave jute sack before labelling and hanging up in a dry, unheated garden shed or well-ventilated greenhouse.

In spring, when the plants are in active growth, apply a high-potash fertiliser (like Tomorite) each week until the leaves start to die back. Pinch off the spent flower heads as the petals fall, and let the stem and foliage die back naturally. The bulbs can then be lifted and discarded, or cleaned, dried and stored (as before) for replanting the following autumn.

Features

  • In each collection you will receive the following bulbs:
  • 7 × Tulipa 'Ronaldo'
  • A Triumph tulip bringing rich depth and sophistication to spring planting schemes with its velvety maroon-purple blooms, beautifully marked with subtle tonal veining. The rounded petals curve into elegant pointed tips, creating a refined shape enhanced by a smoky sheen and silky texture. Grows to 40cm.
  • 7 × Tulipa 'Blue Diamond'
  • Double purple-petalled, scented blooms developing grey-silver tones with age, are produced in late spring. 'Blue Diamond' has a wonderful, ‘waterlily-esque’ appearance viewed from above, and when planted en masse, seem to float upon sturdy stems when woven through the border or used in pots. A good mixer, it goes well with most pinks and purples as well as deep plum. Grows to 45cm.
