Product Description

Tulip ‘Alison Bradley’ is an outstanding double-early variety with densely packed petals and a rounded, cup-shaped form. Its flowers combine deep berry shades ranging from rich raspberry to dark plum, developing different tones as the light moves across the layered petals. On sunny days, the blooms open more fully to reveal attractive golden centres.

Growing to approximately 35cm high, this short-stemmed Tulip is an excellent choice for pots, window boxes and other container displays. Plant several containers generously and position them beside a doorway or along a patio for a coordinated focal point. In the garden, the variety works beautifully as colourful edging for paths and borders.

The rich flowers provide strong contrast without overwhelming shorter companion bulbs. Pair ‘Alison Bradley’ with blue Muscari, white Narcissi or pale Tulips to create a balanced early-spring planting scheme.
