Late tulips can also look excellent with old fashioned red, yellow, orange, purple, rose pink or white wallflowers. Some brilliant color schemes can be devised, with both bright, eye catching plants and gentler, more subtle shades. The fringed tulip, which has lilac colored petals, creates a strong contrast, for example, with rich orange wallflowers, whose scent is welcome on a warm sunny evening.
A more restful color scheme could be achieved by substituting a pale primrose colored wallflower or even a rose pink or purple form. Wallflowers are usually treated as biennials, that is, they are sown in late spring one year and the flowers are seen the next. They are normally sold in autumn; either as growing plants in bedding boxes or in bunches of eight or ten with just a little soil attached to their bare roots.
They should be thoroughly watered and planted as soon as possible in a sunny position, where they will start to flower the following spring. Once they begin to flower the show will continue for many weeks, contributing an informal, and cottage garden style to your pots and containers. For a combination of tulips and wallflowers, prepare the container in the usual way, using drainage material and a soil based potting compost soil mix.
Plant ten tulip bulbs so that their eventual depth below soil level is about three times their own height, allowing for a 2 inches gap at the top of the container. Plant seven or eight wallflowers in a wide circle, choosing those plants with the best roots systems, discard the rest. Firm in the plants and water well. Place the container in a sunny sheltered position.
