Description
You’ll be beaming with pride when this brand new Tulip 'Lady Smile' unfurls in your garden. There’s just so much to love about it—long, strong stems are each topped with large gleaming white blooms, the fringed edges of each petal look like they’ve been laced with a rosy-pink frosting. There’s plenty of detail to admire in each flower with its dip-dye appearance. Whilst there’s uniformity from flower to flower, up close you’ll see those tiny hap-hazard sparky edges which are really rather quirky. The overall effect is gleaming perfection and these sweet little ladies will brighten your planting scheme or floral arrangements in the most cheerful of ways.
Typically flowering during April, Tulip 'Lady Smile' combines well with tulips in complementing tones, such as mauve, pink or near-black. You’ll also find this works well with April-flowering daffodils like 'Thalia', 'Carice' or 'Pink Charm'. Whether you decide to grow these in patio contains, borders or a gravel garden, make sure you plant plenty because it’ll be difficult to resist snipping some stems to enjoy in a vase!
