Tulip ‘Whispering Dream’ will mesmerise you with its gradual transformation as the blooms mature. Initially the white blooms are delicately edged in soft pink, but this gradually darkens and diffuses toward the base of each flower, until the top half is a deep shade of raspberry over an ivory-white base. The elegant, champagne-flute shape of this Lily-flowered variety also widens slowly to reveal the centre of each flower. Plant this variety alone or mix it with a plain white variety to create an unforgettable display in beds, borders and containers this spring. Height: 40cm (16"). Spread: 10cm (4").

Plant tulip bulbs in late summer or autumn. Tulips will grow well in any moist, well drained soil, except for particularly wet soils. Choose a sunny position that is sheltered from strong winds. When planting tulip bulbs avoid shallow planting as this may reduce the winter cold period that is essential for tulip bulbs to produce flowers in spring. Plant them at a depth of 15cm (6") and at a distance of 13cm (5") apart.

After flowering, deadhead the faded tulip flowers and allow the foliage to die back completely before removing it in summer. Caution: Tulip bulbs are an irritant to skin and eyes, and are harmful if eaten.
