A good replacement for Abba that has retired for health reasons, this fully double early-bloomer is brilliant cherry-scarlet with variable, muted chartreuse-yellow flames and a light fragrance. Double Early Tulips are known to be good for forcing.

Garden Care
In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
