Description
Introducing Tulip ‘Sundowner’ to your borders and containers is a bit like planting a tropical sunset in your garden! With enormous blooms and petals flushed with vivid, exotic shades, these high-impact tulips are truly exquisite. Flowering from late April onwards, they’re the most wonderful way to introduce your garden to summer. This fully double peony-flowered Tulip ‘Sundowner’ is a real sight for sore eyes, providing weeks of interest as it gradually opens. With huge petals in a joyous shade of cherry red and heavily streaked with mango yellow, it will take you right back to summer holidays and sundown cocktails.
A bicolour tulip provides double the colour impact, doing the work of two varieties in one. Give the show-stopping Tulip ‘Sundowner’ a space to call its own in order to fully appreciate the blooms - amidst a plain backdrop of foliage plants or leafy shrubs is the perfect spot.
