Description
One of The Royal Horticultural Society’s top 10 tulip varieties, Ballade tulips are an excellent choice for a number of reasons. First of all, there are the absolutely elegant blooms with their pointed petals. They’re a beautiful shade of lilac, highlighted with a pure white edge that really makes them stand out in garden borders. Secondly, unlike other lily-flowering tulips, they’re quite weather resistant. Last, but not least, you’ll find that these beauties are more likely to come back for a repeat performance next year.
It all adds up to a plant that every keen gardener should try – and even not-so-keen gardeners will find Tulip 'Ballade' rewarding and easy to grow.
