EXCLUSIVE TULIP! You simply must follow this tulip every day and experience the wonder… It starts as a round, thick bud, which changes colour from green to purple-pink with green stripes. Then, a whole bundle of white petals grows from the centre. Before they unfurl, they are, as it were, encased by the purple-pink outer layer. At that stage, it looks just like a scoop of ice cream! Eventually, the white petals win, and the large white centre becomes visible…
Large, very double flowers (like peonies) that bloom in May. Give them a sheltered spot; they bloom for a long time.
