Tulip
'Byron Bay'
Tulip 'Byron Bay' is one of those tulips that looks as if it’s just stepped out of a perfectly composed still life—romantic, a little dramatic, and entirely charming. This fully double variety offers pink blooms, packed with layers of ruffled petals and delicately fringed with creamy white edges. The contrast is soft but noticeable, giving Tulip 'Byron Bay' a frosted, almost confectionery feel. With a generous, peony-like shape and late spring flowering, it’s a brilliant way to bring texture, form, and gentle colour to borders, containers or cutting patches.
Tulip 'Byron Bay' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, standing tall on sturdy stems that make it a reliable performer even in less-than-ideal spring weather. It’s particularly effective planted in groups, where the frilled edges and generous shape of Tulip 'Byron Bay' can truly shine. Pair it with whites, mauves, or dusky purples for a romantic scheme, or let it be the star against a backdrop of fresh green foliage. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of late-season luxury or simply enjoy something a bit frothy, Tulip 'Byron Bay' ticks all the boxes. Elegant, dependable, and quietly extravagant, Tulip 'Byron Bay' is a garden-worthy treat that looks as good in a vase as it does in the soil.

Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, 15–20cm deep and around 10cm apart. You can leave a little more space between them in borders.
Water once after planting to settle the soil. Border-grown tulips rarely need further watering, but containers should be kept lightly moist and never waterlogged.
Remove faded flowers, then allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally. This helps the bulbs store energy for the following year.
