Product description
Warm salmon-pink flowers bring a cheerful splash of colour to the garden, with Tulip Salmon Dessert producing elegant, goblet-shaped blooms that open above fresh green foliage. The petals have a soft golden glow towards the base, adding a subtle change of colour within each flower without taking away from the overall salmon-pink effect. Its upright growth and sturdy stems give the plant a neat, defined appearance in borders and containers, while the flowers are also well suited to cutting for an eye-catching vase display.
Salmon Dessert works particularly well planted in groups, where the individual flowers come together to create a strong sweep of colour through the spring garden. The fresh colouring sits easily alongside other spring flowers, while the sturdy stems help the blooms hold their shape as they open. As the flowers begin to fade, the foliage remains to carry the plant through the rest of the growing season before naturally dying back, completing its seasonal cycle.
These bulbs are supplied at a size of 12+.

Instructions
Top Tip
For the longest-lasting indoor display, cut Tulips when the flowers are still in bud but showing their colour. The blooms will continue to open in the vase, giving the arrangement a longer flowering period.
How to Water
Water Tulips after planting in autumn, then keep the soil lightly moist while the bulbs establish roots. During spring growth, water when the soil begins to dry out, particularly in containers, but avoid waterlogged conditions as excess moisture can cause the bulbs to rot.
How to Plant
Plant Tulip bulbs in autumn, choosing a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. Place each bulb with the pointed end upwards at around 10-15cm deep, spacing them roughly 10cm apart so they have plenty of room to develop.
