Tulipa Ballerina

The RHS Award of Garden Merit

A vibrant and glowing soft tangerine orange flower, an absolutely brilliant colour when handled well and with a most welcome and unexpected bonus: a heady scent when warmed in the sun, most unusual for any Tulip. Second year blooms show some more twist to the petals and may well be more yellow and less orange, it is a mystery as to why! Pointy tipped Orange coloured lily flowered blooms with a lovely smell, May flowering 18" (45cm) tall.

With purples, purple-blacks and pale yellow.

Planting instructions

The bulbs should be deeply planted with about 4" (10cm) of soil over the bulb in a sunny site, never waterlogged for long, 3-4" (7-10cm) apart.
