Tulipa 'Moonlight Girl'

The tulip is a stalwart of the late-spring garden. There are hundreds to choose from, including traditional, single cup-shaped varieties, double-flowered cultivars and those with elegant, goblet-shaped flowers. Tulips grow best in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. However, they don’t always come back the following year and are therefore often best treated as annuals.

Tulipa 'Moonlight Girl' bears long yellow flowers that gently open up and turn a creamy white as they mature. It can be used as an alternative to bolder yellows for a quieter colour scheme, and makes an excellent cut flower. As with all tulips, plant Tulipa 'Moonlight Girl in well-drained soil, kept moist during the growing period.
