Tulip 'Apricot Beauty'

Beautiful, delicately scented apricot blooms and sturdy stems make this one of the worlds most popular tulips. We certainly could not recommend it more highly! RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. Early Flowering. Height 45cm. Single type. Tulips are a must for every spring garden, creating colourful displays in beds, borders, containers and rockeries. These classic beauties are, of course, the perfect companions to spring bedding plants, and they make superb cut flowers too. They are the embodiment of a British spring garden, but did you know that they have their humble origins in the mountains of Kazakhstan? And did you know that in the early 17th century, when tulip mania hit Holland, prices of the recently introduced bulbs soared, some single bulbs selling for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman! Today there are literally thousands of varieties available, in a stunning array of colours and forms.
