Tulip Black Cherry Frost
These terrific tulip flowers make a wonderful splash of colour in March-April. Their frosted, frilly-edged petals are an extra treat! The dark ‘black cherry’ petals of ‘Gorilla’ are a fascinating contrast to the frosted mauves of ‘Cummins’. Ideal in patio containers or grouped in a border. Ht. 40cm.
Plant tulip bulbs in late summer or autumn. Tulips will grow well in any moist, well drained soil, except for particularly wet soils. Choose a sunny position that is sheltered from strong winds. When planting tulip bulbs avoid shallow planting as this may reduce the winter cold period that is essential for tulip bulbs to produce flowers in spring. Plant them at a depth of 15cm (6″) and at a distance of 13cm (5″) apart.
