Tulip ‘Hugs and Kisses’ (10 bulbs)

Tulipa ‘Hugs and Kisses’ is a single late Triumph Tulip that produces spectacular colour changing blooms that initially emerge yellow, quickly turning white with a delicate and thin pinkish-red edge, eventually turning predominantly pink as they mature.

‘Hugs and Kisses’ tulip bulbs will grow to a height of around 45cm/18″, flowering in April above sword-shaped grey-green leaves.

These captivating and beautiful spring flowering bulbs are perfect for pots or containers and will make an excellent addition to most borders, around conifers and flowering shrubs, creating dazzling harmonies with other flowering bulbs. They should ideally be planted in groups of at least 10-15 for the greatest visual impact and are also exceptional as cut flowers.

‘Hugs and Kisses’ tulip bulbs should be planted 10cm/4″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart, growing in almost any soil, be it acidic, alkaline or neutral, provided there is effective drainage. Try to plant in a position of full sun, in a place where tulips have not been grown in recent years, preferably protected from strong winds.

Remove flowers when they begin to fade and support them after planting with a top dressing of slow acting fertiliser, such as bone-meal, to assist the flowering.
