Care Advice
Keep soil moist during growth but avoid waterlogging. Deadhead flowers once they fade, leaving the foliage in place until it dies back naturally to help the bulb store energy for the following season. In heavy soil, tulips can be lifted after the leaves die back and stored in a cool, dry place until replanting.
What to Expect
Plant in autumn for blooms in mid to late spring. Upright stems reach 50–60 cm tall, carrying dark maroon flowers that add strong contrast in beds, borders, and containers.
