The Newcastle tulip belongs to the more decorative varieties that perfectly complement a spring garden mood. The sophisticated, rich form of the double conical blooms enchants with an unusual, pink colour with a light lavender glow. Petal edges, decorated with spiked fringes, look as if they were covered with intricate lace. Rather large and long-blooming flowers of the presented tulip can adorn any garden planting. The beauty and grace of this tulip is worth displaying at showcase spots on a flowerbed, border, or a large pot ona balcony. Newcastle tulips delight not only in the garden and pot. Use them as cut flower and enjoy their excellent durability.

Tulip does not require much of a gardener's work or attention. It has moderate requirements and seldom gets attacked by pests and diseases. Plant frost-resistant tulip bulbs in autumn, from September to November. They need a warm, sunny position, sheltered from strong winds to develop well. Highly permeable, even slightly sandy soil, enriched with ground compost favours tulip growth. Tulip, including the Newcastle variety, looks great in groups of up to a dozen plants. That setting allows the species to fully display its beauty.
