Tulip ‘La Belle Époque’

Following the latest floral trend of dusky coffee shades, ‘La Belle Époque’ is one tulip that’s right up to date. Translated from French meaning A beautiful era, perhaps the era that’s being referred to is this very one! The soft and romantic dusky pink and mauve flowers make a fabulous addition to spring bouquets as well as in the garden. The blooms of Tulip ‘La Belle Époque’ open slowly, lasting for many weeks and look wonderful in containers and borders, particularly when combined with flowers in pastel shades of pink, mauve, cream and pale green!

The gorgeous Tulip ‘La Belle Époque’ adds a welcome splash of colour and structure to the garden during April. With large blooms on tall, sturdy stems, it also provides interest at a height that towers very neatly over lower varieties. Having tulips in your garden makes those sunny spring days so much more enjoyable to be outside. What’s more, they’re very little work and will provide reliable spring colour every year—simply plant the bulbs in autumn and leave them to it, they’ll provide welcome colour just as the weather is starting to warm up.
