Why We Love It

‘Rococo’ is a tulip that refuses to be ignored; its fiery tones and dramatic, curled petals feel like a living artwork. Compact in height but full of personality, it’s perfect for the front of borders or grouped in pots where its detail can be admired up close.

As a cut flower, it adds bold colour and texture to arrangements, making it a favourite for those who love something a little more theatrical in their gardens.
