T. ‘Red Riding Hood’
The Greigii tulip
group has such
decorative leaves
that they almost
create a total garden
alone. But you
can see how much
more noticeable
the tulip’s foliage
is when combined
with other flowers.
Here T. ‘Red Riding
Hood’ looks
even more amazing
with Anemone
blanda ‘White
Splendour’.
T. ‘Toronto’
We think filling
your flowerbed
with plants helps
to keep weeds
under control.
We also talk often
about planting
smaller bulbs
under, around
and on top of
larger bulbs to
act as ‘shoes and
socks’ by covering
the ankles
and knees’ of
the larger bulbs.
But here, a tulip
is acting as
the ‘shoes and
socks’. Here T.
‘Toronto’ sure
makes Leucojum
aestivum
more visible!
