Embellish your borders with this jewel-coloured queen, Tulip 'Crown of Negrita'. Coronet or crown tulips have a lavish appearance with unusually curled petals—each flower is unique in shape, and this slight irregularity gives your display a little extra in terms of texture. The deep plummy purple colour is a real treat and combines beautifully with tulips which contrast in shape as well as tone. You can liven things up by pairing it with orange, or keep things muted by blending with deep pink or white.

Tulip 'Crown of Negrita' is ideal for planting in pots or borders in any free draining soil. Despite its fancy appearance, this tulip is just as easy to grow as any other tulip – anyone can enjoy growing tulips, simply plant the bulbs in autumn and wait for the magic to unfold the following spring! Not only does the purple Tulip 'Crown of Negrita' effortlessly provide a professional-looking display in the garden, but it makes a marvellous cutflower too.
