Darwin Tulip Salmon Impression
T1566
Description
With petals of peach suffused with coral pink, overlaid with a shimmering mother-of-pearl sheen, Darwin Tulip ‘Salmon Impression’ has a soft, romantic air. This enchanting variety boasts super-sized flower heads which are held firmly on strong, lofty stems, resistant to British weather despite their delicate appearance.
The beauteous blooms are long-lasting both in the garden and in the vase, making them equally fantastic as cut flowers to enjoy indoors. Blooming a little earlier than other Darwin Hybrid Tulips, this variety is likely to return for several years as a perennial bulb. Tulip ‘Salmon Impression’ is a first-class tulip to elevate your spring borders and container displays.
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.

Collection 2
T2002
Like the most luxurious and brightly-coloured silk gowns, this stunning collection of tulips has been created to impress and will gently swing and sway in the spring garden, flaunting their beauty.
Featuring sweetly-scented, tangerine-orange flowers, lily-flowered tulip ‘Ballerina’ blooms with elegance and grace, its pointed petals outwardly curving at their tips as it opens.
To flower at the same time in late spring and to compliment this fiery princess, is May-flowering tulip ‘Ronaldo’ – a purple hued tulip which blooms in the classic goblet-shape we most associate with tulips.
Both varieties have wonderfully long stems and are excellent for cutting and adding to colourful spring floral designs. Bright, acid-green foliage sets the colours off perfectly.
Each collection contains 10 of each variety, each individually bagged and labelled. -
Jimmy
T1430
Mid-Season Tulip ‘Jimmy’ produces warm apricot-orange flowers illuminated with soft golden highlights, creating a glowing and inviting spring display. The richly blended tones of tulip ‘Jimmy’ bring warmth and light to borders, containers, and seasonal planting schemes, pairing beautifully with creams, deep purples, and softer pastel tulips.
Flowering reliably through mid-spring, this elegant variety adds cheerful colour and a gentle sunset-like glow to the garden.
