Tulip Silk Road, a Double Early tulip which grows to a height of 40cm so is one of the shorter varieties but still tall and sturdy enough to use as a cut flower. Tulip Silk Road is a hardy perennial bulb and has lance-shaped, grey-green leaves. Plant in Autumn where it will get full sun or part-shade in a moist, well-drained soil and buds will emerge in April. These buds mature to cup shaped, peony style blooms which are ivory with varying amounts of pink ripples along each petal. These beautiful tulips will give a classically elegant ambience to your planting and look super stylish with other pink and cream varieties for a traditional and subtly romantic look. An eye-catching, albeit understated, tulip for the discerning gardener.
