Description

Their timing is impeccable - April's cool air suits these early single tulips. Simple, sophisticated, and early - these tulips bring grace to borders when the world most needs a gentle awakening.
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.

Prince Mix
T1321
An exhibition of regal splendour, our Early Single ‘Prince Mix’ unites the royal siblings of the tulip world to combine their individual qualities for maximum impact. The delicate lilac blooms of the modest tulip ‘Candy Prince’ are bolstered by the rich purple of his bold brother, ‘Purple Prince’, and both are enlivened by a flash of the quick-witted, cheerful tulip ‘Sunny Prince’.
Appearing immediately after the Greigii and Kaufmanniana varieties have finished blooming, these Single Early tulips are strong and resilient, heroically withstanding inclement weather and exposed locations. The large, egg-shaped blooms in this collection appear simultaneously, for a magnificent pageant of colour.
