Why We Love It

‘Foxtrot’ is a tulip with undeniable romance, its ruffled, double blooms resembling miniature peonies. Compact and richly petalled, it thrives in pots and looks stunning planted in groups along pathways or near seating areas where its detail can be admired.

It also makes an excellent cut flower, lasting well in arrangements and blending beautifully with whites, pastels, or even bolder spring tones. A soft yet impactful tulip that brings both elegance and cheer.
