The good-sized flowers of this triumph tulip are held on stout stems that rise just above the grey-green foliage. They are really striking as their petals have a yellow base, while their tips have been generously daubed with crimson. This distinctive bicoloured effect creates a vibrant show when they are planted on their own, but they can also be used to link solid reds and yellows together in a bedding scheme. - Garden care: From 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.
- Humans: Harmful if eaten; skin allergen; Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
