These late double flowered tulip have long stems and give opulent flowering with multiple petals during the month of May.
Plant the bulbs from October through to December, the pointed end facing upwards, 15cm deep and 15cm apart. Water just after planting, then regularly through the growing period, best in the evening after the sun has set.
