The paper-thin petals of silvery-lilac Tulip Carre unfurl in a similar way to a rosebud in the garden in April and May, making it a visual delight to behold. This elegant little Tulip is named after the Royal Theatre Carre in Amsterdam. It reaches a height of 35cm in full bloom, making it perfect for placing near the front of the border where its unique beauty can be appreciated.Tulips make wonderful cut flowers for adding to spring floral arrangements, and a simple vase of Tulips looks fresh and stylish. Keep the water clean and trim stems every couple of days to ensure a long-lasting display.Plant Tulip Carre bulbs 12cm deep in October to December. Choose an area which receives plenty of sunshine and add some horticultural grit to the bottom of planting holes if you garden on heavy clay.Combines well with other spring flowering bulbs and low growing plants such as Heuchera which will help to hide the foliage as it fades.
