Description

The intense colours we associate with the sun setting are due to a phenomenon called 'scattering', where the shorter-wavelength blue and violet lights are scattered by air molecules and become invisible to the human eye, so all we can see are the longer wavelength yellows, oranges and reds. Fiery orange tulips contrasting with small, multiheaded yellow daffodils, with the occasional flash of pure white.

Flower height: 40-55cm

Flowering period: Mid Season (April - May)

Planting density: For a show-stopping display, plant at 100 bulbs per metre squared. Otherwise plant in clumps of 12-15 bulbs between existing shrubs and herbaceous.

Pack size: Price shown is for one bag of approx. 100 bulbs.
