Tulip 'Marilyn' is a captivating Lily-Flowering tulip, celebrated for its stunning flute-shaped blooms. The flowers feature elegantly reflexed petals that curl away from the centre, creating a beautiful, open shape. Primarily white, the petals are accented with bold hot pink stripes, adding a dramatic burst of colour that makes this tulip truly stand out.

A perennial bulb, 'Marilyn' will grace your garden year after year, growing to about 45cm tall. The attractive grey-green leaves provide a lovely contrast to the striking flowers, making it an ideal choice for late spring blooms. With its blend of elegance and vibrant colour, 'Marilyn' offers a delightful, eye-catching display when the garden is at its peak.

• 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.
