With petals the colour of deep red-wine, in countless overlapping layers, the velvety double-blooms of tulip ‘Uncle Tom’ are a joy to behold when they flower in late spring.

This sumptuous paeony-flowering tulip is excellent for tasteful spring pot displays, holding onto classy looks and rich hues as it blooms for weeks. 

Paeony Flowering Tulip ‘Uncle Tom’ looks as stunning planted by itself as it does mixed with complimentary gemstone colours.  Combine with opulent violet tulip ‘Blue Diamond’ and elegant lily-flowering ‘Merlot’ for a luxuriant textural display.

Glossy, two-toned bells in deep plum and yolk-yellow are produced 1-4 per stem on Fritillaria Michailovskyi during April.

This unusual spring beauty might be petite in stature, with stems reaching just 20cm, but its bold colour ensures the blooms are not overlooked when planted in small drifts near the front of a border or feature pots in a prominent position. The showy flowers are adored by bees and pollinators too, who are drawn into the hearts of bells, towards their pollen-rich centres.

Grow Fritillaria Michailovskyi next to other fritillaria, unusual species and late spring bulbs in sun or dappled shade for an enviable garden display.

Velvety, almost-black mid season tulip ‘Paul Scherer’ is set off beautifully by his pretty fringed companion fringed tulip ‘Huis Ten Bosch’ in this artful collection.  In fact, you could say this pair are a match made in heaven.

The soft pink and ivory colouring and feathered texture of tulip ‘Huis Ten Bosch’ is amplified by RHS award-winning ‘Paul Scherer’s’ dark and moody looks, and simplified, classic tulip shape.  

Both bloom in April to May and are excellent flowers for cutting and adding dynamic colour and interesting shape to late spring bouquets and arrangements.

Each collection contains 10 of each variety, each individually bagged and labelled.
