La Belle Epoque is a flower for anyone who loves the quiet, complicated beauty of vintage colour. Its enormous, many-petalled blooms move through caramel, apricot, dusty rose and silvery blush, with no two flowers quite the same. Elegant without being fussy, it is extraordinary in a bouquet and equally beautiful planted generously in the garden.

Planting & Care
Plant your tulip bulbs in fall, ideally about 4–6 weeks before the ground freezes.
- Light: Full sun is best; light afternoon shade is fine.
- Soil: Choose well-drained soil. Tulip bulbs dislike sitting in wet soil.
- Depth: Plant approximately 6–8 inches deep, measured from the base of the bulb.
- Spacing: Plant approximately 4–6 inches apart. For a fuller display, plant in groups or generous drifts.
- After flowering: Remove spent flower heads, but leave the foliage in place until it has yellowed naturally. This allows the bulb to store energy for next spring.
Package: 10 bulbs.
