Classified as a Single Late, Tulip Malaika is one of the latest tulips to flower in late April-May. Subtle, goblet-shaped, dusky-pink blooms with a sumptuous purple sheen fade to bronze-orange as they mature. Once the ultimate symbol of prosperity and wealth. In the 17th century 'Tulipomania' took hold of Holland and in 1637 a single bulb of the rare Tulip Semper Augustus was priced at the same cost as a house on the most fashionable canal in Amsterdam at the time. Luckily, Tulips can now be enjoyed by everyone, as centuries later, breeders are continually working on producing new varieties including many with unusual shades and shapes. Tulips are versatile and happy in borders and containers. Plant Tulip bulbs in the autumn, around 15cm deep in well-drained soil in sun or part shade. Tulip Malaika grows to an approximate height of 50cm and is a hardy bulbous perennial to enjoy for years to come.
