Harmonious Colour Palette

Add a burst of spring colour with this Double Flowering Tulip Bulbs Mixed Bouquet! This carefully curated selection features three peony-type tulip varieties—'Angelique', 'Freeman', and 'Red Pomponette'—renowned for their lush, double-layered petals and vibrant hues. These tulips belong to the Tulipa genus, celebrated for their reliable spring performance and striking visual impact.

• Bouquet-Ready: With sturdy stems, these tulips hold their shape beautifully in vases, offering up to 10 days of fresh, show-stopping colour indoors.
• Varieties Included: The mix features soft pink 'Angelique', bold red 'Red Pomponette', and the elegant tones of 'Freeman', providing a harmonious palette that brightens any space.

Growing Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted from September to November before the ground freezes. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil.
• Soil & Position: Prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil (pH 6-7). Avoid waterlogged areas; raised beds or containers work well.
• Caring For Your Tulips: Water after planting and during dry spells in spring. Deadhead spent flowers but allow foliage to die back naturally—this helps bulbs store energy for next year’s blooms.
• Hardiness: Suitable for UK gardens (USDA zones 3–8). Protect from severe frost if planted in exposed locations or containers.
• Fertiliser: Use a balanced bulb fertiliser at planting time and as shoots emerge in spring.

Design & Companion Planting Ideas

• Borders & Beds: Plant en masse for a dramatic drift of colour or mix with late-flowering daffodils and muscari for layered spring displays.
• Pots & Containers: Their compact size makes them ideal for patio pots—combine with pansies or violas for continuous interest.
• Bouquets: Cut when buds are just opening for longest vase life; pair with greenery like eucalyptus or ferns.
