If you’re thinking about creating a beautiful combination to enjoy next spring, then let us inspire you with this classy collection. Just like the song, 'Penny Lane' is truly harmonious with a cheery pop that will brighten your day. Comprising Tulip 'Showwinner' with Crocus 'Jeanne d’Arc', this red and white flower duo brings an old favourite colour combo right up to date. When creating a planting combination, you need to think about height, flower shape and flowering times as well as colour.
Each 'Penny Lane' collection contains:
- 10 x Tulip 'Showwinner'
- 20 x Crocus 'Jeanne d’Arc'
With this collection, we’ve done all that for you so all you have to do is plant the bulbs together at the same time and wait for the display to come alive in spring. The varied heights of this collection gives you a dense underplanting of white crocus which shows off the stately bright red fluted tulips which float just above. This outstanding collection looks perfect in borders or containers alike, putting on a great performance in full sun or partial shade.

Plant calendar
Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered position in well-drained soil or a suitable pot or container.
Remove weeds and loosen compacted soil. Improve heavy ground with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost and ensure good drainage.
Plant at the depth recommended for each variety, as their requirements differ. Position shoots or pointed ends upwards. If the correct direction is unclear, plant them on their sides.
Follow the recommended spacing for each variety. Planting in clusters or informal drifts creates a natural display, but avoid placing them directly against one another.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Keep containers lightly moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow naturally before removing it.
