Tulip
'Double Mine'
There is a painterly quality to Tulip 'Double Mine', as though each bloom has been brushed with warmth and light. Its generously filled, peony-like flowers open in layers of soft pink, gradually deepening through rich red before settling into intriguing notes of burnished orange-brown. This gentle shifting of colour gives Tulip 'Double Mine' a sense of movement and depth, making every stage of its flowering a quiet spectacle. The blooms are full and rounded, with a luxurious weight that catches the light beautifully, ensuring Tulip 'Double Mine' feels every bit as indulgent as it looks.
In the garden, Tulip 'Double Mine' brings a sense of richness and warmth to late spring planting schemes. It pairs effortlessly with dusky purples, soft apricots or even fresh greens, where its evolving tones can be appreciated to their fullest. Tulip 'Double Mine' is equally rewarding in containers, where its layered blooms can be admired up close, or cut for arrangements that feel both abundant and artfully composed. With its large, richly filled flowers and ever-changing palette, Tulip 'Double Mine' offers a display that feels generous, characterful and quietly captivating from start to finish.

Plant calendar
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.
