If you plant these 25 'Little Beauty' tulip bulbs between October and December, you will enjoy pink flowers from April to May.

They look beautiful in borders, planters, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in a vase. The bulbs are size 6/+, which is the circumference of the bulb in centimetres. The larger the bulb, the more vigorous the bloom.
