Spring Combination Ideas, Bulb Combinations, Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Spring Borders
Create spectacular spring borders like this one. Combine 2 elegant Tulips of the Triumph Tulips and create pure enchantment in your mid-late spring garden. As with the Impressionists' paintings, where the artists used paints to manipulate color effects by using hues that intensify by contrast with each others, here the luminous ivory-white petals of Tulip 'Shirley' offer an astonishing contrast to the vivid purple blooms of Tulip 'Negrita'.
A planting idea that is ideal for beds and borders, edging or containers. Enjoy!
