Why we like this plant
Tulip 'Ballerina' captivates with its lithe shape and warm, sunny tones that catch the light beautifully. Its elegant petals open in a poised, almost dance-like gesture, bringing a touch of sophistication to the spring display. This tulip pairs wonderfully with blues, purples, and soft whites, creating charming contrasts that delight the eye. Its longevity and sturdy stems also make it a favourite for fresh bouquets, adding grace and warmth indoors and out.
Planting guide
Plant bulbs in autumn, 15 cm deep and 10 to 12 cm apart, in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun.
Care tips
Deadhead after flowering and allow foliage to die back naturally. 'Ballerina' thrives in well-drained soils and may return for several seasons. Lift bulbs in heavy or damp soils to protect them over winter.
