Care Guide
Failing to flower after the first year is due to a lack of potash fertiliser, which is necessary for spurring bloom formation for the following year’s flowering.
Plant large bulbs 15 cm deep and small bulbs 8 cm deep, in well-drained soil.
Plant bulbs on their side to prevent water getting into the hollow crown.

White Triumphator
T1756
Tulip ‘White Triumphator’ is a fine lily-flowering tulip which trumps most other pure white varieties. Tall stems allow the willowy blooms to tower above most other spring bulbs and sway gently on the spring breeze. This lily-flowered tulip has the ability to fit into most planting schemes with ease, adding structure and elegance to chic modern designs and traditional cottage gardens.
Tulip ‘White Triumphator’s’ excellent performance in the garden and long-lasting blooms have helped this tulip to gain a respected Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.

Mount Tacoma
T1819
Tulip ‘Mount Tacoma’ is full of beauty and grace, yet is surprisingly tough and sturdy, unbothered by late spring rain and winds.
Green and pink buds open fully in April and May to flaunt multiple layers of pure-white, ruffled petals. The large blooms are extremely long-lasting and make fabulous cut flowers, often mistaken for paeonies.
A classic favourite, paeony-flowering tulip ‘Mount Tacoma’ pairs well with the marshmallow-pink tones of ‘Angelique’ and lemony ‘Avant Garde’ for a fresh-looking display.

Hakuun
T1570
The pure petals of Darwin Tulip 'Hakuun’ – meaning ‘white cloud’ in Japanese – are reminiscent of pillowy, cumulus clouds billowing against a blue sky. Planted in blocks amongst borders and containers, this tulip creates a blanket of spotless, snow-white blooms which sparkle in the sun and gleam in the moonlight.
This impeccable variety, tulop 'Hakuun' boasts giant flower heads, perched on extraordinarily long stems, making for an exquisite cut flower. Reliably perennial, this Darwin Hybrid will re-emerge year after to grace your garden with its soft, pearlescent glow.
