Why We Love It
Mary Ann is a gorgeous award-winner that opens white and raspberry with a yellow exterior base, and matures to pale pink and raspberry with white highlights and glowing yellow splashes at the base. The interior is white with a variably accented base of yellow and garnet, edged in red sun rays. The beautiful blue-green foliage is attractively marked and mottled for a show of its own.

How to Care
- Plant from mid to late autumn this is later than most bulbs but a late planting can help reduce problems with the disease tulip fire
- Plant at least twice the size of the bulb width apart, and at a depth of two or three times the bulb's height
- Deadhead to prevent seed production, and wait until foliage turns yellow before lifting the bulbs (about six weeks after flowering)
- If you need to lift earlier, place in trays until the leaves become yellow and straw-like Clean the soil off the bulbs, and discard any that may be diseased or damaged
- Allow the bulbs to dry thoroughly before storing
- Store the bulbs in trays or net bags in a warm, dark, before replanting in the autumn
- As flowering is uncertain, it is often best to use old bulbs in the less important beds, borders and containers, and use new bulbs for conspicuous areas
-Tulip bulbs can be increased by two methods:
-Separate offsets when bulbs are lifted to be stored dry in a tray over summer. Replant offsets at least 20cm (8in) deep; if planted too shallow, they may not flower.
-Sow the papery seeds in autumn; they will need a period of frost to germinate evenly. It may take 4-7 years for flowers to be produced. Tulips hybridize easily, but most cultivars are sterile or produce few good seedlings.
