Passionale
T1374
The meaning of Mid Season Tulip ‘Passionale’ is ‘passionate’, and this is certainly a tulip to inspire feelings of ardour. Prized for its lustrous, amethyst petals framed by a band of deeper purple, the neat blooms flare outwards to give a curvaceous contour. As the flowers relax and open in the sunshine, you may glimpse the sulphur yellow anthers peeping out from the centre.
This marvellous, mid-season variety lends its rich opulence to borders, container displays and floral arrangements. In recognition of its superior quality and reliability, tulip ‘Passionale’ has been granted the honour of an RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Rhapsody of Smiles
T1714
Tulip ‘Rhapsody of Smiles’ boasts large, egg-shaped mango blooms delicately streaked with red. Each flower appears slightly different to its neighbour thanks to the unique swirling flames of fruit salad tones.
This bright and bold may-flowering tulip will add warmth to spring borders and pots and is fabulous for cutting and adding a pop of cheerful colour to bouquets and floral designs.
Plant ‘Rhapsody of Smiles’ next to crimson tulips such as ‘Red Proud’ and fringed ‘Pacific Pearl’ to enhance the scarlet markings.

Mondial
T1262
The softly textured, loosely cupped blooms of Early Double ‘Mondial’ sparkle with ethereal brilliance in the spring sunlight. Cushiony, delicate petals of goose-down white are arranged in layers like freshly folded linen. Mid-height, robust stems stand bolt upright, proving resilient to the unpredictable British weather. With its peony-like ruffles, tulip ‘Mondial’ brings delicate romance to your containers, window boxes, and border edges.
The generous, lightly feathered flower heads of tulip Mondial are long-lasting, both in the garden and in the vase.
