Fringed Tulip Ogene
T1474
Description
A new and beautifully fresh-looking Fringed Tulip, ‘Ogene’ will add warmth to your spring garden with its sunset colours. Pretty petals of gently streaked blushing-orange are fringed with rich yellow.
For a striking, tonal combination, mix up and plant the bulbs together in a sunny spot with fragrant lily-flowering tulip ‘Ballerina’ and wildly colourful ‘Apricot Parrot’ which will give you a long-lasting display in April and May.
Tulip 'Ogene' is wonderful for cutting and arranging in a large vase, bringing spring sunshine and joy indoors.
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.

Bleu Aimable
T1672
Silken, reflexed petals of lavender-blue open up from tight buds in May to produce the most perfect blooms on May Flowering Tulip ‘Bleu Aimable’, making this unusual tulip the star of spring borders and containers. The colours become deeper and richer as the blooms mature.
Acid-green foliage seems to intensify the purple hues and this stunning tulip works equally well with silvery-blue plants in the garden and in the vase.
Late-blooming tulip ‘Bleu Aimable’ is one of the last tulips to bloom, putting on an unmissable encore in the spring garden.

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.
