Plant these 20 'Light and Dreamy' tulip bulbs (beautiful pastel colours) between October and December, and enjoy flowers from April to May.

Suitable for borders, planters, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in the vase. The bulbs are size 11/12: the circumference of the bulb in centimetres. The larger the bulb, the more vigorous the bloom.
