Red is a very eye-catching colour in the garden, and this one, with its cherry red flowers, is a real head-turner! It makes a wonderful addition to hot-themed borders, but will also add spark when paired with near-black tulips. - 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.
