Featuring characterful and intensely coloured tulips, including Tulip ‘Black Hero’, Tulip ‘Copper Image’, Tulip ‘Slawa’, ‘Tulip ‘Uncle Tom’ and Tulip ‘Cairo’, her artful collection evokes drama for vase or and/or pot.
- Garden designer, writer and broadcaster, Arit Anderson’s collection aims to provide the “first pizazz of colour of the season” and consists of an exotic palette of reds and oranges, with contrasting hues of deep plum.
