Duo of tulips Amazing Grace & Copper Image

Here is a wonderful duo of very recent tulips, bringing together two of the best early double varieties currently available on the market. The moving 'Amazing Grace' combines its big peony-like flowers with a changing pink colour, flamed with green on the outside, with those of  'Copper Image', endowed with an exceptional coppery rosewood color. Both bloom together, in April, at the same height, in a breathtaking whirl of petals.

This duo consists of:

6 x Amazing Grace Tulips

6 x Copper Image Tulips

Individually labeled.

The Amazing Grace and Copper Image tulips belong to the Liliaceae family. They are currently classified in the group of early double varieties, whose main characteristic is to bloom at the same height, making them a popular category for enthusiasts of well-arranged flowerbeds. Perched on strong stems of 35-40 cm (14-16in), just above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the very double flowers, at least 12 cm (5in) wide, open almost flat. The flowering takes place in April, in the middle of the tulip season. The flowers of Amazing Grace open in lavender pink flamed with green on the outside and mature into a true pink, much deeper. Those of 'Copper Image' amaze with their unique colour, intermediate between copper and pink with a touch of burnt orange and a hint of green on the outside.

Rich in colours and resistant flowers, for both flowerbeds and to enhance your bouquets, the reputation of peony-like double early tulips is well established. It is no coincidence that they are among the most commonly used varieties for cut flowers. Unmatched for bringing the colour of spring to pots or sunny gardens, do not forget to consider the height and flowering period of tulips when designing your flowerbeds, as these parameters vary significantly from one cultivar to another. It is wise to plant a few more bulbs for cutting, as they make beautiful cut flowers that last a long time in a vase. This duo pairs beautifully with the blue flowers of muscari, blue, pink or white, or with wood hyacinths, blue or pink.
