Plant description

Mauve-pink double petals surround golden stamens in this peony-like double late tulip. Borne aloft on sturdy stems from lush grey-green leaves, 'Backpacker' mixes beautifully with the darker plummy-purple gem of 'Blue Diamond', and the papery-pink perfection of 'Finola'.

Care guide

In November or December plant bulbs 15-20cm (6-8in) deep in fertile, well-drained soil. After flowering deadhead and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
