Description

Enjoy the drama of spring tulips, but with a softer, romantic feel thanks to these ‘Blushing Apeldoorn’ tulips. These elegant Darwin Hybrid tulips combine strength, height, and a mesmerising colour shift that adds magic to any planting scheme.

Petals start out sunshine yellow, but as the days go by and the blooms mature, they develop a pink blush for an intriguing blend. Subtle but striking, and your tulips will never look quite the same.

The flowers themselves are large and long-lasting, held on tall, sturdy stems that cope well with an early spring breeze. You can plant them in generous clumps through your borders or use them in big patio pots where they make a real impact. And if you’re into cut flowers, these are a treat in the vase. Long stems, graceful curves, and colour that keeps developing after they’re picked.

This tulip flowers in mid-spring, usually around April, and mixes beautifully with other pastel shades, blues and mauves, or even bolder tulips if you want a colour contrast.

Supplied as a set of 12 bulbs, size 11/12.
