Mid Season Tulip Cairo
T1359
Description
Mid-Season Tulip ‘Cairo’ produces warm coppery-orange flowers infused with soft bronzed tones, creating a rich and glowing display through the spring garden. The elegant blooms of tulip ‘Cairo’ bring warmth and depth to borders, containers, and mixed planting schemes, where their unusual colouring pairs beautifully with deep purples, creams, and darker foliage.
Flowering reliably in mid-spring on sturdy stems, this distinctive variety adds a luxurious and sophisticated touch to garden displays.
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.

Lucillae
M5227
Loose spikes of delicate, sky-blue flowers bloom in profusion on Chionodoxa ‘Luciliae’ during February and March. This intricate beauty is the perfect choice to brighten a dull corner of the garden – ideal for rockeries, alpine borders and for planting beneath large shrubs or trees in dappled shade. Chionodoxas are also wonderful for growing in containers as a pretty, low-growing carpet, from which later flowering bulbs such as Tulips can emerge.
Bulbs will naturalise well in fertile, well-drained soil, returning year after year with their eye-catching show of dazzling blue.
Chionodoxa ‘Luciliae’ has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the RHS for its exceptional garden qualities.
