Paeony Flowering Tulip Blue Diamond
T1814
Description
Starting life as a saturated shade of violet-pink and fading to silvery lavender-blue with delicate veining, the larger than average blooms of tulip ‘Blue Diamond’ are an unmissable treat for the late spring garden.
Breath-taking when planted en masse in blocks and ribbons, and brilliant for spring containers, paeony-tulip ‘Blue Diamond’ is a perfect cut flower, ageing with grace both in the vase and in the garden.
Bright spring green foliage will intensify the colours as will orange and yellow hues.
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.
