Product description

Tulip Blushing Beauty is an imposing Single Late variety that produces enormous, elegant flowers painted in a beautiful wash of soft pink with distinct yellow and apricot edges. Reaching towering heights of up to 70 cm, it acts as a majestic architectural pillar at the back of garden borders and bridges the gap to early summer.

Due to its immense height, plant the bulbs deeply in rich, well-draining soil to anchor the tall stems securely against the wind. When flowering finishes, snap the heavy seed head off the top of the stalk, but strictly allow the massive leaves to turn brown and die back naturally over the summer.

These bulbs are supplied at a size of 11-12.

Instructions

Top Tip

A tip for Tulip Blushing Beauty is to plant it strictly at the back of your garden borders. Because this variety can reach a towering 70 cm tall, it will visually obscure any smaller spring plants placed behind it.

How to Water

When it comes to watering Tulip Blushing Beauty, give the soil a single deep soak immediately after planting to establish the roots. After this initial drink, it requires no further irrigation unless the active spring growing season is unusually dry.

How to Plant

To properly plant Tulip Blushing Beauty, wait until November and dig a hole roughly 15 cm deep in well-draining loam. Place the bulb firmly at the bottom with its pointed tip facing the sky before covering it back up.
