Spring Combination Ideas, Bulb Combinations, Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Spring Borders, Tulip 'Big Smile', Tulip 'Big Chief', Tulipa 'Big Smile', Tulipa 'Big Chief'

A very classic, but outstanding tulip combination that will brighten your borders and catch the attention of all! Illuminating Old Westbury Gardens and elegantly dancing like ballerinas over a sea of colorful viola are 2 tall and beautiful tulip varieties, Tulip ‘Big Chief’ and Tulip ‘Big Smile’.

A planting idea that is ideal for beds and borders, edging or containers. All tulips make excellent cut flowers and look fabulous in a vase too. Enjoy!
