Why we like this plant
Tulip 'Cream Cocktail' offers a refined palette reminiscent of soft creams and rosewater, lending a gentle charm to garden compositions. Its delicate tones are wonderfully versatile, pairing beautifully with deeper pinks, soft greens, and silvery foliage. Compact yet elegant, it fits gracefully in mixed borders or pots, while its neat form makes it an excellent choice for cutting. The subtle blush that edges each petal adds a note of warmth, ensuring the flower feels fresh and inviting.
Planting guide
Plant bulbs in autumn, 12 to 15 cm deep and 8 to 10 cm apart, in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun or partial shade.
Care tips
Remove spent flowers to help conserve bulb energy, and allow leaves to die back naturally. In well-drained conditions, 'Cream Cocktail' often returns reliably year after year. Lift bulbs only if necessary, especially in damp soils.
