Darwin Tulip Daydream
T1563
Description
Gaze wistfully upon the mesmerising blooms of ‘Darwin Tulip 'Daydream’ and you will feel transported to a world of delight. Plump buds emerge lemon yellow, gradually unfurling and transforming to apricot orange. The sizeable flower heads are held upright on strong, elegant stems, perfect for snipping to fill vases around your home and to give as gift bouquets to friends.
These wondrous tulips are spectacular when planted en-masse amongst borders and in large container displays. This Darwin Hybrid Tulip 'Daydream’ is a reliable perennial bulb and has earned an esteemed RHS Award of Garden Merit for its excellent performance and vigour.
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.

Collection 2
SFC12
A classic trio of soft pink, blue, and fresh white Hyacinths - perfect for adding colour and perfume to indoor spaces during winter.
These specially prepared bulbs have been treated to flower earlier than they would outdoors in spring and can be timed to bloom in the home for Christmastime.
In early autumn, these bulbs should be planted shallow, in your favourite containers and in pots of bulb compost or placed in a hyacinth vase above the water. Then store in a cool, dark place until the beginning of December when they can be brought out into the light.
Bud-loaded stems will rapidly elongate, before bursting into bloom and releasing a wonderful fragrance into the air from their tiny, frilled bells.
Hyacinth 'Delft Blue’ has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS for their exceptional beauty and reliable qualities.
3 x Hyacinth White Pearl, 3 x Hyacinth Delft Blue and 3 x Hyacinth Pink Pearl.
de Jager's top quality, top size bulbs really make a huge difference in terms of flowering.
