This tall, magnificent tulip with erect stems and, even among its relatives, exceptionally large flowers will appeal to lovers of expressive and unique plants. Offered variety blooms at the turn of April and May, and its appearance can be described in two words: a fiery beauty! The Dow Jones tulip produces cone-shaped flowers with a rounded, wider base, narrowing towards the top. At the first stage of flowering, you can see the intense carmine red of the petals and narrow tripes of honey yellow at their edges. The fully developed flowers take the shape of open, wide cups. At that time, petal base remains red, but acquires an an intriguing copper shade. The golden-yellow edges become wider, so that each petal resembles a flame.

The variety presented in our store will also look fantastic on a lawn border or in a colourful, loosely arranged group near the place of relaxation. Thanks to its long stems, this beautiful Triumph tulip is perfect for cut flower cultivation.

Plant Dow Jones bulbs in autumn into humous and moderately compact soil. The site should be sufficiently sunny - open and fully bright or shaded only for a part of the day. The offered variety winters very well and is characterized by high vigor and resistance. We recommend combining it with tall varieties of classic, double, and large-cup daffodil, crown imperial, and other Triumph tulips.
