Product Information

Special and unique! It's easy to see how this fascinating tulip got the name 'Ice Cream!'

Soft white inner blooms rise above strawberry pink petals with a hint of green, to look just like ice cream in a cone.

The petals are wonderfully ruffled and the flowers are so large - they have to be seen to be believed! The contrasting colour combination of white sitting on pink and green cups is extraordinary!

These sensational tulips are very versatile and create excellent displays in spring borders, or containers on patios, to really burst a garden to life!

What's more, they are outstanding for cut flowers, enabling the delightfully natural scents and colous to be brought inside and enjoyed for evening longer.

Supplied as 10 bulbs, size 11+ ready to plant in autumn.

Top Tips

Which way up? Usually pointy end up, but if you are not sure, plant the bulb on its side and it will eventually right itself.

Care Information

Planting Advice for your tulip bulbs:

  • Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
  • Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
  • They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they’ll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
  • Leave them in the ground once they die back for flowers again next year.
  • While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
  • Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
  • If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.

Aftercare Advice for your tulip bulbs:

  • Tulips can be planted as late as November, but it’s best to get your bulbs in the ground so that they can establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
  • Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
  • Water frequently and if in pots ensure that the compost doesn't dry out.

Tidying your growing tulips:

  • Once flowering is over, it is important to leave the leaves on your tulips until they have died right down, usually by early summer. This allows the bulb to store food and produce flowers the following year.
  • While it is recommended that bulbs are dug up and dried in the summer sun, modern thought is that there is no real benefit from doing this and many gardeners now leave bulbs where they are.
