Fringed Tulip Huis Ten Bosch
T1468
Description
The two-tone blooms of Fringed Tulip ‘Huis Ten Bosch’ are a sweet treat for spring containers and garden beds. With a creamy-white base, the petals are edged with candy pink and feature a pretty fringed edge.
The unusual flowers mix well with rosy shades and soft-yellow, both in the garden and in the vase for spring floral displays. We think it looks wonderful paired with lemony Paeony-flowered tulip ‘Verona’ in a large pot or border.
Strong stems make this elegant, frilly tulip 'Huis Ten Bosch' a fabulous flower for cutting.
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.

Passionale
T1374
The meaning of Mid Season Tulip ‘Passionale’ is ‘passionate’, and this is certainly a tulip to inspire feelings of ardour. Prized for its lustrous, amethyst petals framed by a band of deeper purple, the neat blooms flare outwards to give a curvaceous contour. As the flowers relax and open in the sunshine, you may glimpse the sulphur yellow anthers peeping out from the centre.
This marvellous, mid-season variety lends its rich opulence to borders, container displays and floral arrangements. In recognition of its superior quality and reliability, tulip ‘Passionale’ has been granted the honour of an RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Rhapsody of Smiles
T1714
Tulip ‘Rhapsody of Smiles’ boasts large, egg-shaped mango blooms delicately streaked with red. Each flower appears slightly different to its neighbour thanks to the unique swirling flames of fruit salad tones.
This bright and bold may-flowering tulip will add warmth to spring borders and pots and is fabulous for cutting and adding a pop of cheerful colour to bouquets and floral designs.
Plant ‘Rhapsody of Smiles’ next to crimson tulips such as ‘Red Proud’ and fringed ‘Pacific Pearl’ to enhance the scarlet markings.

Delft Blue
H2512
Exhibition Hyacinth ‘Delft Blue’ is a classic mid-blue variety with a soft porcelain sheen and beautifully uniform flower spikes.

Exceptionally weather tolerant, the blooms hold their shape well through changeable spring conditions, providing long-lasting colour and structure in beds or containers.
A worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, ‘Delft Blue’ remains one of the finest and most dependable exhibition hyacinths available.
