Revel in the brilliance of spring with this captivating border idea featuring an array of sun-drenched hues. Gracing your garden in mid-spring, this dynamic design showcases three award-winning tulip varieties, making it a snap to bring this vivid display to your own outdoor space.

Let’s begin with Tulip ‘Apricot Beauty’. This delightful bulb steals the spotlight with its salmon-apricot petals, offering a soft counterpoint to more vibrant hues. It’s known for its sturdy stems and long-lasting blooms, making it an ideal choice for cutting gardens as well as beds and borders.

On the bolder end of the spectrum, we have Tulip ‘Orange Emperor’. This tulip bursts forth with brilliant orange blossoms that seem to capture the essence of a sunset. The bold petals are complemented by the green foliage, adding depth and contrast to the garden.

Both of these tulips have been honored with the Royal Horticultural Society’s prestigious Award of Garden Merit, testifying to their outstanding garden performance, resilience, and beauty. This distinction assures that you’re choosing time-tested plants renowned for their excellence.

Easy to cultivate and requiring minimal upkeep, this design proposal is ideal for gardeners looking to infuse their spring landscape with eye-catching hues without the high maintenance. All you need is a sunny spot, and these tulips will do the rest, rewarding you with an unforgettable mid-spring spectacle. Enjoy!
