Tulip 'Double Mixed'
Dispatch begins week of 14 September
Autumn planting varieties are seasonal and become available at the start of September. We will then prepare your order and begin dispatch during the week beginning Monday 14 September.
Tulipa 'Double Mixed' is a late-season blend of sumptuous, peony-like double tulips, selected for an elegant spread of colour—soft pastels alongside brighter notes for a naturally varied planting. With sturdy stems and generously filled blooms, it lends itself beautifully to smart pots by the door, neat drifts at the front of the border, and a few stems brought indoors for spring arrangements.
Plant in autumn and allow the bulbs a well-drained position; come April and May, this mixed selection delivers a richly layered finish to the tulip season.
Why you’ll love it
- Double, peony-style flowers for a refined, full-bodied look
- Late tulip season interest, flowering April–May
- Excellent in containers and equally poised in borders
- Cut-flower worthy stems for the vase

Kind Words from Our Gardeners
Arrived quickly and well-packaged. Planted them in some pots on the patio and they all came up. Look beautiful. Thank you!
Careane Wallace
The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
