Tulip Uncle Tom. Peony Type \nIntroduced in the 1930’s and now regarded as an heirloom variety. \nTulip Uncle Tom blooms late in the season, usually around mid-May and is regarded as one of the finest double late tulips in existence. \nThe stunning, giant, bowl-shaped blooms of this traditional favourite begin life as blackish red buds but unfurl to reveal sumptuous dark maroon/wine red flowers. \nThe petals are full, luxuriant, slightly ruffled with a brushed velvet appearance and from a distance could easily be mistaken for paeonies. \nLong flowering, the dark blooms contrast beautifully against the lush green foliage. \nWill certainly add clamour and charm to your garden whether you use it in pots, tubs, containers or in the border and for good measure Tulip Uncle Tom is perfect as a cut flower. \nGood choice if you want to extend a bedding display, plant in groups and delight as they open to reveal their superb colouring. \nPlant bulbs 4–5 inches deep in fertile, well-drained, soil, during autumn. \nRemove the flowers as they fade to prevent plants setting seed but allow foliage to yellow and wither for approx. 6 weeks before removing it. \nTulip Uncle Tom in time for the new planting season. \nORDER IMMEDIATELY \nAUGUST \n \nPACK 10 BULBS \nSize 9-10 \nWe also stock many OTHER VARIETIES of Tulip bulbs. \nEhowhome have some SUPER HINTS AND TIPS on how to grow your new bulbs. \nWe want you to be happy with your purchase and all our Tulip bulbs are checked and inspected visually before packing. at .  .
