Description
The Lily Flowering Mix brings together the elegance of lily-flowered tulips, each with long, tapering petals that arch outward to resemble lilies in bloom. This curated blend offers a spectrum of colours from pristine white and creamy yellow to bold pinks, deep purples, and fiery reds, creating dynamic, sculptural displays as the season progresses.
Flowering in May, at the tail end of the tulip season, these tulips provide late-spring continuity and help extend colour and structure in both private gardens and public schemes. Their tall, slender forms stand gracefully in breezy Irish weather, with blooms that remain long-lasting and durable.
Plant in autumn in moderately fertile, well-draining soils that retain moisture in spring without becoming saturated. These tulips flourish in full sun, but will cope with light shade, making them adaptable to both urban beds and rural landscapes. They are especially effective in avenues, estate plantings, and formal borders where their sculptural shapes add elegance and precision. While they do not carry fragrance and offer limited nectar, planting them alongside Allium Globemaster, Camassia leichtlinii, or Muscari armeniacum ensures biodiversity is not overlooked.
