Tulipa 'Seadov'
triumph tulip bulbs
Bold colour and classic form make this mid-spring tulip a real garden highlight. Rich, deep red blooms rise above fresh green, strap-shaped leaves, creating a strong block of colour that instantly lifts borders and containers.
Tulipa 'Seadov' is a shorter Triumph tulip, making it ideal for the front to middle of a sunny border or for packing into pots on the patio. The single flowers hold their shape well on sturdy stems and carry a light fragrance, adding another layer of interest when planted where you can pass by and enjoy them up close.
Pair it with hot shades of orange and yellow for a vibrant, fiery display, or set it against deep purples for striking contrast.

How to care for Tulipa Seadov:
Using fresh, good-quality compost, plant bulbs in pots from September to November. For borders, we advise waiting until after the first frosts (typically mid-October to early December depending on your location) 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. If you’re unable to plant your bulbs immediately, they can be stored in a cool environment with good air circulation. Remove all the packaging and place them in a loose-weave jute sack before labelling and hanging up in a dry, unheated garden shed or well-ventilated greenhouse.
In spring, when the plants are in active growth, apply a high-potash fertiliser (like Tomorite) each week until the leaves start to die back. Pinch off the spent flower heads as the petals fall, and let the stem and foliage die back naturally. The bulbs can then be lifted and discarded, or cleaned, dried and stored (as before) for replanting the following autumn.
