Plant tulip bulbs from October to mid-December, once the weather has cooled. Until then, store them somewhere cool, dry and safely away from mice and squirrels.
Turn a blank canvas into a masterpiece with our unique Tulip collection 'Rembrandt's Strokes'. This beautiful mixture of the most popular Rembrandt tulips, including 'Rems Favourite', 'Helmar', 'Carnaval de Rio', 'Estella Rijnveld' and 'Prinses Irene', provides a picture-perfect palette of colour and artistic detail. Each of these tulip cultivars includes flame markings on the outer petals, reminiscent of careful brush strokes, in contrasting and dramatic colours. The level of detail in Rembrandt tulips is utterly exquisite and the vintage appeal is completely on trend in gardens as well as cut flower arrangements.
Gardening can be an art form and you can use Tulip collection 'Rembrandt's Strokes' to create your own work of living art with the most opulent flowers. Let your creative streak loose and plant your collection in pots, borders and flower beds during autumn. Then, in spring, look forward to a gallery of gorgeous bicolour blooms to admire! There’s plenty of colour and contrast within this mixed Rembrandt tulip collection itself, but if you wish to introduce another level of interest, we recommend combining tulips like this with taller plants like Fritillaria persica and low-growing plants like Muscari or Chionodoxa.
Rembrandt tulips are recognizable by the unique, multi-coloured petals that are said to resemble a painting by the famous Dutch artist. They are a must-have for any garden enthusiast and their show-stopping blooms will have your neighbours turning their heads in envy. If you're looking to add a little Dutch flair to your garden, then these mixed Rembrandt tulips are an ideal choice!

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.
