Siesta

The fringed edge of Siesta catches light in a way that solid petalled tulips simply cannot. Each rich purple tipped with white petal ends in a delicate crystal like fringe, like the finest handmade lace laid along the rim of a flower. Flowering in April to June, it brings a quiet sophistication to borders, lifting any planting with its refined detail. In a vase, the fringed petals catch the light differently at different times of day, never quite looking the same twice. As a cut flower it is exceptional, strong stems hold the bloom upright for well over a week, making it as valuable to the vase as it is to the border. Dutch grown and hand selected for size and vigour, Siesta arrives ready to perform. Grown in the bulb fields of the Netherlands, where the craft of bulb growing has been perfected over centuries.
