Tulip Species Polychroma
T1005
Description
Like a perfectly formed little quail’s egg, Tulip Species ‘Polychroma’ delights with its milky white petals and buttercup yellow centre. Neat, pointed buds remain firmly shut at night, and gradually unfurl as the day brightens. Opening fully into broad, star-shaped blooms, these botanical tulips seem to drink in the sunlight to store within their golden centre.
This low-growing variety, tulip 'Polychroma' is ideally suited to rockeries, containers, edging borders and dotting amongst lawns, where they will naturalise liberally. Multiple flower heads emerge from one bulb, providing an impressive display even within a smaller space.
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.
