Tulip
'Fringed Lady'
Tulip 'Fringed Lady' is a sunny flourish for late spring, opening in clear lemon yellow with an extravagant fringe of pale, almost ivory filaments around each cup. The effect is crisp, bright and wonderfully textural, like a lace collar added by someone with excellent taste and sharp scissors. Its upright blooms stand neatly above broad green leaves, giving borders and containers a fresh, composed lift. Tulip 'Fringed Lady' looks especially charming threaded through blue forget-me-nots, white arabis or violet muscari, where the cool planting makes the yellow glow. Close up, Tulip 'Fringed Lady' rewards a proper look, all serrated edges and soft buttery light.
Plant Tulip 'Fringed Lady' in generous groups, either through a sunny border or in pots near a path, where its frilly rims can be admired without the need for undignified kneeling. The flowers have a clean, elegant shape, but the fringed petals add just enough mischief to stop them feeling too formal. Pair this yellow tulip with fresh greens, soft blues and creamy whites for a spring scheme that feels airy and polished. Cut a few stems for a vase and the detailing becomes even more apparent. Bright, poised and delightfully tactile, Tulip 'Fringed Lady' brings sunshine with a finely trimmed edge.

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.
