Tulip ‘Tambour Maitre’- 30 Bulbs - On a trip to the Dutch tulip fields this spring one of the colours I was looking out for was a deep satin red. I found this - Tulip 'Tambour Maitre' - picked out from a field of 400 varieties. Tulip 'Tambour Maitre' is vastly tall and has huge flowers to match in the most incredible texture and colour, the base a rich red with an overlying touch of smoky crimson. Truly magnificent.

For the vase:
Tulips make supreme cut flowers. Strip the bottom leaves, tie the stems in paper and soak for 8 hrs. This helps keep the stems straight.
