Floral designer’s favourite ‘Menton’ has long been a top may-flowering tulip for cutting. The long, graceful stems and huge oval flowerheads make it perfect for arranging in seasonal bouquets and displays and the soft colours are timelessly fashionable. China-rose petals with suffused apricot-orange edges mature to pale coral as the blooms age. 

Long-lasting both in the garden and as a cut flower.

Excellent garden performance and enviable looks have won tulip ‘Menton’ an Award of Garden Merit as a mark of excellence from the Royal Horticultural Society.

For high voltage colour in early spring, few flowers can compare to the luscious Early Double ‘Monte Orange’. With multiple, overlapping tiers of marmalade tinted petals, these Early Double tulips seem lit from within by a golden glow. The long-lasting flowers unfurl from tightly cupped buds to open, bowl-shaped blooms ribbed by green sepals. Stocky, sturdy stems hold the large, lavish flower heads upright, even in exposed locations.

These vibrant tulips make an eye-catching addition to window boxes, containers, and bedding displays. Try planting tulip ‘Monte Orange’ in striking single colour drifts, in a ‘hot’ scheme of reds and yellows or dotted amongst contrasting deep purples.

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.
