Tulip 'Double Sensation' Mix (Tulipa) – Double Late Spring Flowering Tulip (Bag of 20 Bulbs)

Tulip 'Double Sensation' (Tulipa) is a double-flowering tulip with large, peony-like blooms packed with multicoloured petals. You receive 20 dry bulbs in a bag, ready to plant in autumn. They are not growing plants.

The photos show the flowers in bloom.

The full double flowers sit on upright, sturdy stems in April and May, which makes them a bold choice for spring beds, cottage borders, patio planters and cut flower displays. They grow well in pots as well as in the ground.

Plant the bulbs in autumn, about 15cm deep with the pointed end facing up, in full sun and well-drained soil or compost. Planting in November, once the soil has cooled, suits tulips best. Water them in well after planting and let the foliage die back naturally after flowering, as this feeds the bulb for next year. Most double tulips flower best in their first year or two, so many gardeners replant fresh bulbs each autumn.

Bulbs are harmful if eaten. Keep away from children and pets.
