Tulip 'James Wild' - 5 bulbs Price £ 16.5

Tulip 'James Wild' - 5 bulbs - Tulip 'James Wild' is one of the Tulip varieties I've been on the lookout for over the years - very unusual and hard to find.
Visiting the historical collection of tulips (Hortus Bulborum) in Holland last spring, I fell in love with the rich crimson conker browns, which are, on the whole, no longer commercially available. Then we found this one, totally unique and truly ravishing.

Care tips:
Don't plant tulip bulbs until the cold weather has set in- this helps wipe out viral and fungal diseases. Leave the browning foliage on your tulips until every leaf has died right down - this allows the bulb to store more food

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.
