Tulipa Clusiana 'Lady Jane'

Description

Elegant, white, lily-like flowers are enhanced by the pink tinge on the outside of the petal, making it a quite spectacular feature in the early spring garden, and ideal for mixed planting with contrasting colours, maybe grape hyacinths or crocus. They are best planted densely to maximise the impact of colour, and in very well-drained soils, the bulbs can be left for next season without needing to lift them.

Sowing Advice

Sow seeds at any time, covering them very thinly with compost or grit, keeping the seed pot in a cool, well-lit spot outdoors. Artificial heat is not needed and can prevent germination so be very patient as many species will only germinate in the spring after chilling or freezing in the moist seed pot in the winter. Grow on individual seedlings in small pots until of sufficient size to be potted on or planted out into the open ground.
