A late flowering tulip that stands out as a striking addition to any garden, boasting large, full double flowers in a captivating scarlet red hue backed with a smudge of lime green. With multiple layers of petals resembling peonies, these blooms exude elegance and charm and are held proudly on sturdy stems, drawing the eye with their vivid coloration and lush appearance. Complemented by sturdy, lance-shaped grey-green leaves, 'Pamplona' adds a touch of sophistication to borders and beds, creating a focal point that commands attention.
Plant bulbs in pots from September. For borders, we advise waiting until after the first frosts (November to December) to reduce the risk of potential disease such as Tulip Fire. Plant bulbs 15-20cm (6-8in) deep and 10-15cm (4-6in) apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq or 60-75 bulbs per m². After flowering dead-head 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.
