Description

Tulip Sweet Simone is a variety for customers who notice the small details. The petals are ivory-white, but the real character comes from the vibrant pinkish-red edging?fine, needle-like fringes that create a crisp, almost lacey outline around each bloom. It offers a subtle colour journey as flowers tend to open with a creamier tone and a darker, richer pink edge, then gradually soften as they mature into a lighter pink-and-white finish. In a container near a doorway or along a path, that texture and colour shift is easy to appreciate and gives the planting a premium feel. For retailers, it?s a strong add-on line for customers who already buy standard reds and yellows and want something more distinctive. It is supplied as a 5-bulb pack and shipped in outers of 5, keeping stock handling tidy and encouraging repeat purchase for larger pots or grouped plantings. Recommend it for sunny positions where the fringe detail is sharpest and for containers where customers will see the flowers at close range. It works well planted in small clumps through a border to add a fine-textured highlight among broader-leaved spring plants. Plant in autumn once soils cool, prioritising good winter drainage (containers or raised planting are the simplest advice on heavier ground). Tulips are mainly ornamental, but open blooms can provide small amounts of early-season pollen in mild spring conditions.
