May Flowering Tulip Fairline
T1670
Description
May Flowering Tulip ‘Fairline’ is an elegant blend of soft lilac and white tones, each bloom appearing like a gentle brushstroke across the late spring garden. The refined colouring of tulip ‘Fairline’ brings a calm and understated beauty to borders, containers, and seasonal planting schemes, flowering gracefully through May.
There are no gaudy colours or exaggerated forms here — just reliable, well-bred elegance with a beautifully consistent habit. Planted in rows, it creates a sense of uniform calm, while mixed among other tulips it adds subtle contrast and softness to the garden.
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.
