    • Why we like this plant

      Tulip 'Columbus' is a picture of springtime delight, its lush blooms bursting open with generous layers of colour. The rosy centres and creamy outer edges give the flowers a fresh, almost sugared look, making them stand out beautifully in both formal and cottage-style gardens. This variety adds a soft, romantic presence to beds and pots, and its strong stems hold up well in spring breezes. As a cut flower, it brings warmth and fullness to any bouquet, echoing the charm of traditional garden roses.

    Planting guide

    Plant in autumn, 15 cm deep and 10 to 12 cm apart, in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun.

    Care tips

    Deadhead once blooms fade and allow foliage to wither naturally. In light soils, 'Columbus' may return for several years. Lift bulbs in early summer if conditions are damp, and store in a dry, cool spot until replanting.
