A planting of this remarkable tulip resembles a flock of tropical birds. The arching orange petals, which look as though they have been dipped in yellow paint, flutter over purple-striped foliage. When the sun hits them, they glow.
Plant them in unexpected places, as if they had appeared there casually: beneath shrubs and lightly shadowing trees, in pots, in all sorts of places these cheerful, willing bulbs will grow. Here in Amsterdam it starts to bloom in early April. Height 40cm.
Suggestion: interplant with starry blue Anemones to create a wild look that will last for weeks. Remember to be generous with these pretty blue trinkets, for they are small things and need to be seen in quantity to have an effect.
