Tulip Purple Dream Bulbs produce elegant fluted flowers in rich purple, opening to reveal a contrasting white eye at the base. Their strong stems and distinctive lily-flowered shape bring colour, height and structure to spring borders and containers.

Supplied as a pack of 15 bulbs, plants reach around 50cm (20in) and flower from April to May. They are highly suitable for cutting. Plant from October to December in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.

Bulb size: 12+
Bulb sizes are measured by circumference in centimetres. A 12+ bulb measures at least 12cm around. Larger bulbs generally contain more stored energy, helping to support strong growth and an impressive flowering display.

All of the bulbs we offer have been trialled and tested, either on our own trials ground, here in Suffolk, or on those of our growers, who we work with to ensure we offer the best range for British gardens.
