Blooming in shades of salmon and rose, flushed with dark green and muted purple, the pointed petals of Viridiflora Tulip ‘Artist’ look as though they have been painted with the sweeping strokes of an artist’s brush. 

These unique Heirloom tulips are long-lasting and return every spring for years to come, unlike many modern tulip varieties.  The stems are not especially long, so plant near the front of the border and fill your pots to ensure tulip Artist’s exceptional beauty is not overshadowed by taller plants.

Early Double Tulip ‘Belicia’ produces stems of multiple fancy blooms which will billow in the spring breeze like the plumes of a cavalier hat. The stunning feather-like petals of tulip 'Belicia' emerge in a soft shade of primrose yellow, edged in carmine, and fade to raspberry-rippled ivory.

The show-stopping bouquet-flowering Tulips are an arresting sight when planted to bloom in wide swathes in the border. Plant taller tulips such as the rich and plummy ‘Black Hero’ and elegant ‘Queen of Night’ behind for complimentary colour and texture.

Blazing with glorious colour, the deep yellow petals of Darwin Tulip ‘Olympic Flame’ flicker with crimson streaks. The real Olympic flame is a symbol of strength, resilience, and the advancement of human civilisation, kept alight for the entirety of the games. Likewise, this eponymous tulip is robust and long-lasting, and can be used to great dramatic effect.

The colossal, bi-coloured blooms are carried on sturdy stems, held aloft like the Olympic torch itself. Tulip ‘Olympic Flame’ has been bestowed with the horticultural equivalent of a gold medal – the RHS Award of Garden Merit – and will stand on the podium of your garden with pride.
