Angelique
T1812
Often mistaken for a fragrant, ruffled paeony rather than a tulip, ‘Angelique’ is a romantic-looking, soft-pink paeony-tulip.
The apple-blossom pink blooms open fully during April and May and make stunning cut flowers for pretty spring arrangements. Cut or pull the stems before buds fully open for a long vase-life.
Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the RHS, ‘Angelique’ is a remarkable tulip which looks particularly effective when the bulbs are nestled closely together in pots and planted as a drift in the border.
Combine with fellow ice-cream shades for an angelic display, or with dark purple hues for delectable contrast.

Bright spring green foliage will intensify the colours as will orange and yellow hues.
