Lovely Combinations – Tulip Orange & Muscari Blue Bulbs is a vibrant spring flowering collection that combines the fiery orange blooms of Tulip Rigas Barikades with the rich cobalt-blue flower spikes of Muscari Armeniacum. This striking pairing creates a bold contrast of colour, bringing energy and texture to borders, containers and spring bedding displays.

Flowering from early to mid spring, this carefully selected combination blends the dramatic flame-shaped tulip flowers with compact clusters of grape hyacinths for a display full of movement and colour. The vivid orange tulips stand proudly above the carpet of blue muscari, creating an eye-catching feature that is also perfect for cut flower arrangements.
