A wonderful, tall tulip that is a really luscious shade of carmine-red. It looks great when teamed with other purple or burgundy tones, or just planted in great swathes throughout the border. The fringed petals give the flowers an interesting silhouette. - Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering deadhead and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
