Large well-formed flowers of a gentle lavender-mauve with a broad silky-white edge. A fine new tulip with a colour combination that attracts one immediately. Splendid for the middle of the border, creating subtle effects with other plants.
Colours like these are ever welcome among the riot of spring flowers, creating coolness nearby and a feeling of distance from afar. Not a difficult tulip to please but a little shade during part of the day will help to bring out the cool tones. Mid-spring flowering. Height 50cm.
Suggestion: makes lovely combinations when grown with different shaped Tulips within the same colour range like the double Blue Diamond or the lily-flowered Tulip Ballade.
Suggestion: it matches the colour of the grape hyacinth (Muscari) with which it combines very smartly.
