A Lovely Spring Border Idea with Lily-Flowered Tulips
Spring Combination Ideas, Bulb Combinations, Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Spring Borders
Want soft colors in your late spring garden? Looking for an easy mix to replicate? Try this: scatter some bulbs of Tulip 'White Triumphator' over plantings of Forget-Me-Nots (Myosotis sylvatica). The long stemmed tulips will beautifully emerge from a sea of airy, blue blooms as they blossom and will then be tenderly engulfed as they wither, a nice way of hiding the dying and yellowing foliage of the tulips when they are finished blooming. Enjoy!
