One of the most prolific Species tulips, ‘Tarda’ teems with a throng of joyous, star-shaped blooms. Featuring a broad centre of cheerful, primrose yellow, each petal is tipped with pristine white. The undersides of the plump buds are painted with delicate strokes of mauve, sepia and green – best appreciated when backlit by the morning sun.

Flowering freely with up to 6 heads per stem, these botanical tulips put on an exuberant show, brightening borders, lawns, rockeries, pots. ‘Tarda’ is wonderfully reliable and perennial, naturalising and self-seeding happily, and has consequently been granted the accolade of an RHS Award of Garden Merit.
