Tulip 'Foxy Foxtrot' (Tulipa) – Double Peony-Flowered Spring Tulip (Bag of 15 Bulbs)

Tulip 'Foxy Foxtrot' (Tulipa) is a double late tulip with lush, peony-like blooms in warm soft apricot, peachy-pink and golden yellow. Each flower is packed with ruffled petals, giving a full, luxurious look and plenty of cottage-garden charm to a spring display.

You receive 15 dry bulbs in a bag, ready to plant in autumn. They are not growing plants.

The photos show the flowers in bloom.

Plant them in full sun to partial shade, in well-drained, fertile soil, in borders, raised beds or patio pots. The tall, sturdy stems carry large blooms that last well, so they are also a good choice for cutting and bringing indoors. Many modern tulips are short lived in British gardens, so it is best to think of this as a spring display to enjoy each year you plant it.

Plant the bulbs in autumn, pointed end up, at about three times the height of the bulb. Choose a spot that drains well, because tulip bulbs dislike sitting in waterlogged soil. In containers, use good quality compost mixed with grit for free drainage. After flowering, let the foliage die back naturally so the bulb can store energy. In wetter areas the bulbs can be lifted after flowering, dried and stored somewhere cool and dry until replanting in autumn.

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