Tulipa 'Ballerina' | Lilyflowering

Grown & Soil Association Certified 100% Organic

One of our favourite spring flowering bulbs, this lily flowering tulip variety produces a vivid, orange flower, with fluted petals flushed with scarlet and form reminiscent of a lily. Emerging in the late spring, Tulipa 'Ballerina' is an elegant, long-stemmed beauty that emits a subtle sweet scent and with it’s attractive foliage also makes for a great cut flower. 

Plant in the autumn from late October into the winter as long as the temperature is mild, either in pots, as part of a bulb lasagne with other scented blooms such as Narcissus Thalia or in a garden border. Orange tulips are striking when planted alongside  hot coloured companions with a similar bloom time and luminous in the spring sunshine.

We planted them at Cambridge Central Mosque with crimson and violet varieties to create a bold colour blocking display.
