Why We Love It

‘Daydream’ is a tulip that evolves beautifully through the season, shifting its colour palette to provide ever-changing interest. Its glowing shades look particularly stunning in evening light, where the blooms seem to radiate warmth.

Tall and long-lasting, it’s a favourite for cutting and for adding bold impact to large planting schemes. Planted en masse, it creates a dreamy, glowing display that transforms the spring garden.
