Polychroma
T1005
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.

Paul Scherer
T1384
Exhibiting dramatic, moody, maroon-black blooms with a plush, velvet gleam, Mid Season Tulip ‘Paul Scherer’ is a tulip worth making room for. This mid-season variety will be a real talking-point in any garden, with its incredible, Gothic, ebony petals set off by grey-green foliage. Maximise the breath-taking effect of their pitch-black colouring by planting in dramatic swathes, or use them as bold punctuation marks dotted throughout contrasting colour schemes.
The tall, sturdy stems make stylish cut flowers, adding an air of mystery to floral arrangements and bouquets. Tulip ‘Paul Scherer’ has earned the accolade of an RHS Award of Garden Merit, proving itself to be both impressive and reliable.

Pacific Pearl
T1466
Rich merlot fringed blooms of Fringed Tulip ‘Pacific Pearl’ will add a dramatic touch to your late spring garden, blooming just as the spring symphony is starting to fade to bring depth and colour to garden beds and containers.
The deep antique-red petals are delightfully fringed at the edges and flare outwards to produce a classic tulip silhouette. Grow tulip 'Pacific Pearl' where the blooms will be backlit by sunshine and their colours will burn brightly in the border.
