Tulip 'Menton' is a Mayflowering variety renowned for its classic egg-shaped form and unique colour-changing ability based on its location in the garden. In shady sites, it produces rosy pink tulips, while in sunny areas, it blooms in shades of apricot-rose. This feature allows gardeners to enjoy two distinct colours from the same tulip with strategic planting. Blooming in late spring, 'Menton' reaches a height of 75 cm, making it a striking addition to borders and garden beds.

Benefits:

• Dual Colour Display: Changes from rosy pink in shade to apricot-rose in sunlight, providing a dynamic visual impact.
• Classic Tulip Form: Egg-shaped flowers add traditional charm to garden landscapes.
• Late Spring Blooms: Extends the tulip blooming season, adding colour and vibrancy later in spring.
• Tall Stature: Reaches a height of 75 cm, ideal for creating vertical interest and background planting.
• Versatile Use: Perfect for garden beds, borders, and as cut flowers for indoor arrangements.

Growing Tips:

• Planting Time: Plant bulbs in autumn before the ground freezes to allow for establishment before spring blooms.
• Soil Preparation: Choose well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter to promote healthy growth.
• Depth and Spacing: Plant bulbs 15-20 cm deep and space them 10-15 cm apart to ensure optimal development.
• Sunlight Requirements: Select a location with partial to full sunlight to influence the tulip's colour variation.

Fertilisation:

• Apply Mr. Middleton Seaweed feed at planting time and in early spring to support robust flowering.

After Bloom Care:

• Allow foliage to die back naturally to nourish bulbs for the following season.
• Remove spent flowers to redirect energy into bulb development.
