Description

Greigii Tulip Peacock Mix is a compact early-season tulip blend for planting where bright spring colour is needed at the front of a scheme. It is different from a standard mixed tulip bag because the display is built around the Greigii habit: low growth, bold flowers, sturdy structure and attractive foliage. The colour range is warm and lively, with red, orange and yellow tones creating a bright early display close to ground level.

Tulip Peacock Mix is best used where compact colour needs to be seen clearly. It suits civic planters, hotel entrance containers, estate path edges, public garden fronts, raised beds, school grounds, courtyard displays and smaller commercial landscapes. The lower height keeps the planting tidy and close to the viewer, while the mixed colour range gives more movement than a single-colour dwarf tulip block. The foliage is part of the value. Greigii tulips are noted for purple-brown marked leaves, short stems and mostly red and yellow flowers, with potential for multi-year flowering in sunny locations where conditions are suitable. This makes Peacock Mix useful in close-view planting where the leaf markings can be appreciated before the flowers fully open.

Use Peacock Mix with blue muscari, early crocus, low narcissus, compact white tulips, yellow Kaufmanniana tulips and simple spring bedding. In larger professional plantings, it is best used in generous repeated groups rather than scattered thinly, so the red, orange and yellow tones read as a deliberate early-season feature.

Greigii tulips are generally early flowering, average around 20 to 30cm high, and are suitable for park beds, borders and rock gardens.
