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.
'Wind of Change'
Tulip 'Wind of Change' is a bold and expressive variety, its lavish blooms unfolding in deep pink tones that feel both dramatic and richly inviting. Each flower of Tulip 'Wind of Change' is densely layered in a peony-like form, while the finely fringed edges add an almost feathery texture that catches the light beautifully. As Tulip 'Wind of Change' opens, the petals loosen and curl slightly, creating a sense of movement that brings energy and depth to late spring plantings. Its vivid colouring ensures Tulip 'Wind of Change' stands out effortlessly, whether woven among softer hues or planted en masse for full effect.
With its substantial, fully double blooms, Tulip 'Wind of Change' benefits from sturdy stems that support its generous flower heads with ease. Ideal for borders, containers and cutting gardens, Tulip 'Wind of Change' offers both visual impact and reliable performance. Indoors, a few stems make a striking arrangement, their textured petals adding a tactile richness to any space. Combining the fullness of a peony tulip with the intricate detail of a fringed form, Tulip 'Wind of Change' feels both opulent and dynamic, a variety that truly lives up to its evocative name.

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.
