The striped or mottled leaves are quickly followed by eye-catching bright red flowers that last for a long time. Ideal for use in rock gardens and at the front of borders. Plant tulips in groups and watch as they open to reveal their vibrant colors. Why not cut some for a flower arrangement and enjoy them indoors as well? Height and spread: 20cm (8″). Bulb size 11/12cm.
Growing Information
Plant tulip bulbs in late summer or autumn. Tulips will grow well in any moist, well drained soil, except for particularly wet soils. Choose a sunny position that is sheltered from strong winds. When planting tulip bulbs avoid shallow planting as this may reduce the winter cold period that is essential for tulip bulbs to produce flowers in spring. Plant them at a depth of 15cm (6″) and at a distance of 13cm (5″) apart.
