Tulip Red is a popular and valued variety belonging to the Triumph category that encompasses tall plants that start to bloom at the end of April. Slender, cup shaped flowers consisting of shiny, scarlet petals will introduce a truly spring mood onto a perennial border, lawn or to an arrangement of lower shrubs. You may also cut them, put into vases and compose magnificent bouquets out of the. The timeless Red variety looks particularly appealing in larger groupings and in company of other tulips of the same category, for example Yellow and Orange.

Beginning of autumn - September and the first half of October - is the perfect time for planting tulips. Bulbs should be placed 12 cm deep and 12 cm apart in the soil. Tulips prefer sunny or partially shady sites. These plants need a permeable soil that is rich in organic matter and slightly moist, particularly during the flowering period. Bulbs may stay on the flower beds for 2 to 3 seasons or can be dug out, dried and stored in an airy place until next planting.

One package contains 250 bulbs sized 11/12 cm in circumference. The bulbs offered here in our store were bred in Holland.
