A lily-flowering tulip with buttery-yellow, slender urn shaped flowers with pointed tips. They are quite tall and are known for their long-lasting flowers that are perfect for cutting and look spectacular when fully opened. This is a great variety that has been given the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Garden Care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally, lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
