Description

Set Late Spring Alight With Fully Double Tulip Flowers Packed With Orange, Rose-Red And Golden Colour!

Tulip 'Queensday' brings a celebratory burst of colour to beds, borders and patio containers from April into May. This late-flowering variety produces large, peony-style blooms with light yellow bases, rose-red flaming through the centre and warm orange edging, for a rich, layered effect.

Growing up to around 45cm tall, 'Queensday' blooms stand proudly above broad grey-green leaves and give spring plantings a strong finish after many earlier bulbs have faded.

Plant in generous groups through sunny borders for a vibrant block of colour or use in patio pots where the full double flowers can be enjoyed close up.

Fully hardy and easy to grow in well-drained soil, the flowers of 'Queensday' also make superb cut flowers for springtime vases, with strong stems and excellent vase life.

Supplied as a set of 10 bulbs, size 11/12, ready to plant.

Top Tips

Ideal for cut flowers or forcing for early spring flowers.

Care Information
  • Plant in the autumn to a depth of 12cm, 15cm apart.
  • Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots before planting to encourage faster and more reliable establishment.
  • Allow to dry thoroughly, then store at 18-20°C, in a dark, well-ventilated place for replanting in the autumn.
  • Keep well-watered through the growing season.
  • Remove spent flower heads but leave foliage until it begins to yellow and die back, then dig up the bulbs for storing.
  • Clean the soil from the bulbs and discard any that appear damaged or diseased.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
