Mid Season Tulip Royal Virgin
T1415
Description
The impeccable, angelic blooms of Mid Season Tulip ‘Royal Virgin’ have an aura of peaceful purity, creating a sense of serene tranquillity in your planting schemes. Delicate alabaster petals beam with a luminous glow. These classically shaped tulips are the epitome of refinement, creating an understated display of ethereal beauty.
A favourite for planting en-masse like a pristine blanket of snow, tulip ‘Royal Virgin’ will also provide a glinting highlight amongst other spring bulbs in pots and borders. These sturdy stems make sublime cut flowers to adorn your home, and the demure blooms blend well with a wide range of colour palettes.
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.

Honeymoon
T1472
Glowing against a backdrop of lush green, the ethereal white blooms of fringed tulip ‘Honeymoon’ are a stylish addition to spring beds and borders. Buds appear in mid-spring and stems continue to elongate until the flowers bloom in May, adding architectural elegance to the garden and vase.
The crisp white blooms are feathered and fringed at the edges as though touched by frost, adding an exquisite edge to the stunning flowers. Evergreen plants, euphorbia and ferns contrast well with Fringed Tulip ‘Honeymoon’ helping to highlight its immaculate beauty.

Cilicium
M5268
Cyclamen Cilicium produces beautifully silver-patterned foliage that forms a neat ground-hugging carpet beneath delicate nodding flowers in soft pink and blush shades. Flowering in autumn as the garden begins to fade, the elegant blooms of Cyclamen Cilicium bring gentle colour and refined charm to shady borders, woodland gardens, and sheltered rockeries.
Ideal for naturalistic planting schemes, this graceful cyclamen thrives in well-drained soil with light shade, where its decorative leaves provide long-lasting interest beyond the flowering season. A protective winter mulch is beneficial in colder areas, while shallow planting helps the corms establish successfully year after year.

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.
