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.
'Vogue'
You are guaranteed to grab everyone’s attention with shocking pink Tulip 'Vogue', as she’s set to be the star of the late spring garden! Generous double blooms with an intense vibrancy are illuminated by whiter borders and flames, giving this spectacular tulip an incredible luminosity. Wonderfully dusky purple stems hold the flowers up straight and proud above the attractive wavy leaves, so there’s every chance that Tulip 'Vogue' will steal the show. And a what a show it is, with the bonus that this double tulip has a very long flowering period, enabling you to enjoy her over many weeks as the days get longer and warmer.
Tulip 'Vogue' has the vibrant good-looks required to create a really special display in the later part of the tulip season, so you needn’t feel despondent when your earlier-flowering tulips start to fade! With this tulip’s intense hues, you could create incredible contrasts with other vibrant double tulips, in a hot display. Or you could cool things down a bit, pairing it with baby blue Muscari for a really dreamy effect. The versatility of Tulip 'Vogue' is greatly enhanced by its relatively short stature, around 40cm high, which gives its stems strength, making it an excellent cut flower with a long vase-life.

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.
