Description

A highly popular, much-admired Darwin Hybrid, ‘Apeldoorn’ is renowned for its superb, oval-shaped flowers held on long, strong stems. The exceptionally large blooms are draped with cherry red petals, lit from below by a golden base and punctuated by a prominent black centre.

These striking tulips have a bold presence when planted in sweeping drifts amongst borders, and when arranged an abundant display in large containers. A gentle vanilla scent will add an extra dimension to your enjoyment of ‘tulip Apeldoorn’. With Fosteriana as one its parent varieties, this long-lasting tulip returns well each year as a perennial bulb.

Top size bulbs by de Jager in 9 cm pots, ready to be sent out in early February.

 

Care Guide

November is the optimum month 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 10-20cm deep, spaced 10-20cm 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.

    P1812

    Often mistaken for a fragrant, ruffled paeony rather than a tulip, ‘Angelique’ is a romantic-looking, soft-pink paeony-tulip.

    The apple-blossom pink blooms open fully during April and May and make stunning cut flowers for pretty spring arrangements.  Cut or pull the stems before buds fully open for a long vase-life.

    Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the RHS, tulip ‘Angelique’ is a remarkable tulip which looks particularly effective when the bulbs are nestled closely together in pots and planted as a drift in the border.

    Combine with fellow ice-cream shades for an angelic display, or with dark purple hues for delectable contrast.
