Tulip Sugar Almond Mix (Tulipa) – Pastel Spring Flowering Mix (Bag of 30 Bulbs)

Sugar Almond Mix tulips bring a soft, romantic palette to the spring garden, in shades of blush pink, cream, soft lilac and pale apricot that echo classic sugar almond sweets. You receive 30 dry bulbs in a bag, ready to plant. They are not growing plants. The photos show the flowers in bloom.

Each bag holds 30 tulip bulbs (Tulipa) for a generous, multi-toned display in spring. The mixed selection gives a layered, naturalistic look, with blooms opening in harmonious waves through the season. As with any mixed bulb collection, the exact proportion of each shade may vary.

Tulips suit borders, raised beds, patio containers and cutting gardens, and they are easy for beginners and experienced gardeners alike. Plant them in autumn in a sunny spot with free-draining soil, because the bulbs rot in waterlogged ground. In pots, use good quality, free-draining compost and make sure the container has drainage holes.

After flowering, leave the foliage to die back naturally so the bulb can store energy. Most modern tulip hybrids flower best in their first spring and then tend to dwindle in British gardens, so many gardeners replant fresh bulbs each autumn or lift the bulbs once the foliage has died down and store them somewhere cool and dry.

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