Description

Red Tulips are a sure sign that spring has arrived in full force, but Tulip 'Cherry Delight' will outshine them all and keep on doing so for an almost unbelievably long flowering period. That’s what we discovered when we went on our annual expedition to Keukenhof Gardens to hand-pick the very best Tulip varieties for UK gardeners. First, we were impressed. Later, we were amazed. Finally, we were delighted as 'Cherry Delight', along with its delightful sisters, became part of the distinctive range that makes Farmer Gracy so popular with UK gardeners.

The Delight series will set your garden apart this coming spring. Be sure to be among the gardening superstars who have this distinctive Tulip in their gardens. Reserve your bulbs now and enjoy the longest-blooming Tulips ever.
