Tulip ‘Honky Tonk’ (9 bulbs)

An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, Tulip ‘Honky Tonk’ is a delightful and unusual tulip variety that is sure to add a splash of colour to your spring garden. This small, dwarf tulip produces triangular petals in shades of pale pastel yellow, occasionally flushed with soft pink. The flowers are narrow and pointed, and they will open full in the spring sunshine.

Tulip ‘Honky Tonk’ is a hardy perennial that is easy to grow. It prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil. The bulbs should be planted in the autumn, about 3 inches deep. Tulip ‘Honky Tonk’ will reach a mature height of 15cm/6″, and it will bloom in spring.

This tulip variety is a great choice for borders, rock gardens, and containers. It is also a good choice for naturalising, as it will spread slowly over time. Tulip ‘Honky Tonk’ is deer-resistant and has no serious pest or disease problems.
