Double Late Tulip
Vintage Beauty for the Modern Garden
Graceful, sophisticated and endlessly admired, Tulip 'La Belle Époque' has earned its reputation as one of the world's most desirable double tulips. Its luxurious peony-style flowers open in beautifully blended shades of warm apricot, antique bronze and soft caramel, creating a colour that changes subtly as each bloom matures.
Unlike brighter tulips, its muted tones bring warmth and elegance to the spring garden, blending effortlessly with whites, creams, blush pinks and deep burgundy companions. The large flowers are carried on sturdy stems, making them equally valuable in borders, patio containers and fresh flower arrangements.
Flower arrangers particularly treasure this variety because of its unusual colouring and exceptional vase life. Indoors or out, every flower brings an air of understated luxury that few other tulips can match.
Perfect for gardeners looking for something a little different, 'La Belle Époque' combines timeless elegance with excellent garden performance.
