Normally I try and plant my Tulips by the end of December but this year I am a bit late. Still Tulips have a great capacity to catch up before April when they flower.

Varieties Just Planted

• Monte Carlo a double yellow only 12 ” tall. They have an AGM and are reputed to be fragrant.
• Apricot Parrot has feathered bicoloured petals. There is a bit of green on the outer petals with red and apricot shades on the inner petals. These Tulips are about 22″ tall
• Another lower growing  Tulip Greigii called Queen Ingrid at 14″ caught my eye with red petals edged in white
• Bulbs varied in size from 10-13cm. I have planted most in pots that I can bury in the ground where there is a gap and take up quickly after flowering. I will let you know how they all get on.
