White, quilled petals with just a hint of violet flame. The flowers have good endurance and impressive substance, standing up to rain, hail and shine. Coronet Tulip ‘White Liberstar’ flowers mid season and the blooms are about 6cm long.

Coronet Tulips are in a class of their own. The compressed petals have a ‘spout’ or lip that gives them an extraordinary appearance. They have great substance and last well, standing up to all sorts of weather. This transfers to vase life as well, they are almost leathery. The leaves are more upright and encase the plant.

Tulips are the superstars of spring. They can take centre stage like no other flower can, creating unforgettable spring shows.

Our Tip: Tulips look best en masse. When planting keep this in mind and plant them quite densely. By using a triangle planting formation you can create a nice full display.

Tulips may have a reputation for being `Prima Donnas’ but in most cases this is undeserved. When you buy a bulb the flower is already pre-formed, ready to bloom. All you need to do is plant them into well drained soil in a sunny spot, water and enjoy the show.

A simple way to remember when to plant your tulips is around Mother`s Day. It doesn’t have to be on the day, it just serves as an easy marker. The timing is ideal as the soil has cooled sufficiently for planting and the really hot autumn days are usually done and dusted.

All our bulbs are ready to grow; they do not need to be chilled, which is one less thing to do.

When growing tulips in pots, we recommend regular watering as potting mix is perfectly drained, so dries out quickly. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. In warm weather you may need to water daily to get the most out of them. If they are left too dry they tend to flower short, or abort their buds. We also suggest the addition of some fertiliser as they begin to grow to ensure the best show.

IN POTS:
This is our recommendation for the best display, keeping in mind bulbs look best when planted nice and close together.

14cm/6” = 3 bulbs
20cm/8” = 6 bulbs
25cm/10” = 9 bulbs
