Huge double flowers with loads of petals that make this tulip look more like a peony. Before they open, the buds are a very dark red, but once the flower emerges it turns a more purplish-red colour. This tulip, with its super-sized flowers, really packs a punch. - 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.
