Why we like this plant
Tulip 'Shirley Double' enchants with its luxuriant, rose-like blooms, where tender pinks and gentle purples mingle softly, evoking a sense of timeless charm. Its romantic hues and graceful form are reminiscent of classic springtime gardens, pairing beautifully with whites, lilacs, and silvery foliage to create elegant and nostalgic displays.
Planting guide
Plant bulbs in autumn, 12 to 15 cm deep and 10 cm apart, in well-drained, fertile soil in full sun or light shade.
Care tips
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage bulb strength, allowing leaves to die back naturally. In suitable conditions, bulbs may return for several years. Lift and store bulbs in heavier soils once foliage has withered.
