Tulip sylvestris Bulbs produce graceful yellow flowers on slender stems, bringing a natural, informal character to spring planting. Their slightly nodding blooms open in sunshine and carry a light fragrance.

Supplied as a pack of 15 bulbs, plants reach around 30cm (12in) and flower from April to May. They are well suited to borders, woodland edges and naturalised planting where they can gradually spread in favourable conditions. Plant from October to December in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.

Bulb size: 6/7
Bulb sizes are measured by circumference in centimetres. A 6/7 bulb measures approximately 6-7cm around. Larger bulbs generally contain more stored energy, helping to support strong growth and an impressive flowering display.

About our Bulbs
We work very closely with our growers to ensure we offer the very best, top sized bulbs which will provide you with a glorious autumn show. 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.
