Tulip Sun Lover is a spectacular double late tulip producing large, fully double blooms that resemble glowing peonies. Opening in rich golden yellow before gradually deepening to vibrant shades of orange, the colour-changing flowers provide a stunning display throughout April and May. Reaching approximately 40cm in height, this eye-catching variety is perfect for borders, beds, patio containers and striking spring cut flower arrangements.

Easy to grow and full of seasonal impact, Tulip Sun Lover creates a bold splash of warm colour when planted in groups. Its luxurious blooms pair beautifully with deep red, purple or apricot tulips and make an outstanding feature in both formal and cottage-style gardens. The long-lasting flowers are equally impressive when cut for indoor displays.

Aftercare
Remove faded flowers once blooming has finished, but allow the foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can store energy for the following season. Plant in well-drained soil to keep bulbs healthy over winter. Lifting and storing bulbs after the foliage has died back may improve flowering performance in heavier soils.
