Taylors Bulbs Tulip 'Golden Parade' (7)

A classic Darwin Hybrid and sport of the award-winning 'Parade', Tulip 'Golden Parade' bears large, egg-shaped buttercup-yellow flowers accented with a delicate red margin, opening in the sun to reveal a striking small black blotch and black anthers within. Sturdy stems carry the blooms to around 60cm, making it a bold, reliable choice for borders, mass planting and cut flower arrangements alike.

Plant the bulbs in late autumn at a depth of 10-15cm in fertile, well-drained soil, in a sunny position sheltered from strong winds and excess winter wet. 'Golden Parade' flowers mid-to-late spring and, as a true Darwin Hybrid, is one of the more reliably perennial tulips, increasing in beauty over successive years in good conditions. As with all tulips, the bulbs are harmful if eaten and can cause skin allergies, so gloves are worth wearing when handling.

Supplied as a pack of 7 top-quality bulbs. Each bulb is hand-selected before dispatch. Available from Pengelly Garden Centre.
