Tulipa 'Elegant Lady'

Plant details

Elegant Lady' is as charming as its name suggests. It produces single, goblet-shaped, upright flowers that are a delicate shade of pink, flushed with a stronger shade pink on the edges. Tulips are best planted in November as this minimises the risk of attack from the fungal disease, tulip fire, which causes the foliage to become distorted and covered with fuzzy, grey fungal growth and the flowers to either fail to open or to be marked with bleached spots. Any bulbs that become infected with this disease are best thrown away and the ground they were planted in should not be used to grow any tulips for several years. Remove the flowers as they fade to prevent plants wasting energy setting seed.
