Kaufmanniana Tulips Two-Tone Mixture
T1080
Description
Our Kaufmanniana Tulip ‘Two-Tone Mixture’ is a perfect pairing of head-turning tulip varieties, ‘Showwinner’ and ‘Stresa’, to provide a spectacle of vivid, eye-catching colour. These two wonderful companions flower at exactly the same time for an abundant display. The sunshine yellow base of ‘Stresa’ offsets its crimson stripes, which complement and enrich the similarly scarlet petals of ‘Showwinner’.
The brilliance of these blooms is enhanced by ornamental, striped foliage. Both outstanding varieties flaunt an RHS Award of Garden Merit as proof of their reliable performance. Create a phenomenal display in your window boxes, containers, rockeries, and borders with this bold duo, bringing exuberance early in the season year after year.
Care Guide
October to November are the optimum months for planting Tulip bulbs. The cooler late-autumn temperatures help to keep disease at bay, whilst still allowing time for your bulbs to put roots down before spring.
Any well-drained, fertile soil is perfect for Tulips, ideally in full sun or part shade. Plant the bulbs 10-20 cm deep, spaced 10-20 cm apart. A piece of chicken wire or mesh can be placed on top of the soil or pots after planting if squirrels or rodents are a problem in your area.
After flowering in March to May, remove withered stems, foliage and any fallen petals to promote good plant health and apply a top dressing of high-potash fertiliser in late winter.
