Graceful semi-doubles in sunshine buttercream hues. A strong contender for my best new bulb award.

Besides their enchanting flowers with those archetypal Fosteriana sepals, Sweet Valley has whopper leaves that are almost a feature in their own right.

Fantastic in a pot placed in a sunny spot include as part of a bulb lasagne to flower early on in your tulip layer.

Tulip petals are all edible. We scatter them over salad and use some petals dipped in tempura batter and served with a spring garden Frito Misto.
