Lily-flowered Tulip
I am writing this review after having had numerous occasions to contact Promise of Flowers. I bought a lot of bulbs in the autumn when they were on sale at a 50% discount. I didn't know they were ALL bad. All the bulbs! It's clear that I wouldn't have bought them if I had known they were bad. Who sells bad bulbs, even at a reduced price?! The packages arrived wet and the paper bags they were placed in were opening up with powder, mold, and insects. The bulbs were not cleaned of their dirt and dried before being sent to me. I contacted them multiple times, having spent around 1000 euros on all these bulbs. Their first response was "well, it's because the soil is wet," and then when I explained that I hadn't even planted all of them yet, the second response was "you're supposed to plant them as soon as they arrive." So what's the solution? That you swindle me? There were no apologies, no offer to replace what went wrong, no offer of a refund. Nothing.

Description
Lily-flowered Tulip 'Lasting Love' is a recent French hybrid, distinguished by its powerfully fragrant flowers, lush foliage, and unique dark red colour. It blooms in April, with narrow-cupped, satiny flowers with tapering petals and wide burgundy-red edges surrounding a darker, purple-brown central zone. They open in a very dark and glossy red star shape. This variety pairs perfectly with 'Flamming purissima' or 'Merlot' tulips to create a sumptuous blend of white, pink, ruby red, and purple in borders and bouquets.
The lily-flowered tulip 'Lasting Love', bred in 2008 by INRA, belongs to the liliaceae family. It is classified in division 6 of horticultural tulips, which comprises 15 types. Their main characteristics are as follows: they bear single flowers in the second half of spring and their narrow-cupped flowers have pointed and recurved petals when they open. They were created in the early 20th century. The 'Lasting Love' variety will reach a height of 40 cm (16in) when in bloom in April. The colour of this dark flower is enhanced by its intense fragrance and very glossy texture. The inside of the corolla has a black base and a white style. The foliage is wider, more wavy, and more lush than other tulips, adding extra charm to this variety. Each solitary flower is supported by a delicate-looking, but remarkably weather-resistant stem.
This queen of elegance fits well in large borders and bouquets. Its beautiful dark shade allows for combinations with pink or white tulips, creating a lovely contrast. This also maximizes the flowering duration of borders. Pair it with grape hyacinths and euphorbias for stunning scenes. It can also be planted in borders, rockeries, flower beds, pots and containers. This tulip will be beautiful on balconies and terraces and pairs with tall perennials. In a vase, use very little water, just covering the bottom is enough! If your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase each day. Many varieties of lily-flowered tulips are grown for forcing to produce cut flowers for a large part of the year.

Planting and care
Plant 'Lasting Love' lily-flowered tulips in a sunny spot from October to December for beautiful spring flowers. You can also plant them in a partially shaded location. Plant as soon as possible in light, fertile, and well-drained soil that has been deeply loosened to a depth of 15 cm (6in) (bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs 10 cm (4in) apart, making sure they do not touch each other. Cut the flower stems after flowering but let the leaves dry completely before cutting them.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
