Fosteriana Tulip 'Concerto', sometimes referred to as Botanical Tulips, is known for its distinctive, solitary, bowl-shaped flowers. These flowers have a slender form that is offset by the plant's large, striped leaves, adding a unique visual appeal. The Concerto variety of this tulip can grow up to 25cm in height, which makes it perfect for various garden settings. Notably, it blooms early in the tulip season, so it's a great choice for adding colour to your garden at the start of spring. Its size and early blooming nature make it an excellent addition to the front of garden borders, rockeries, or even in containers, providing a versatile option for gardeners.

Tulip 'Concerto' has been awarded with RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

 

• Deadhead the flowers during the season before the petals fall off.
• After flowering has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulbs for the future.
• Water as needed during active growth periods.
• By mid summer the leaves may yellow and die back. Foliage may be removed at this point.
• Some tulips flower well for one year and then need lifting out of the soil and carefully stored if you want to use them again. Once everything has fully died back, you can lift them and store them in a dark, dry, airy place over summer, allowing the air to circulate around them. They can then be replanted in the Autumn.
