  The rich, warm tones of this glorious tulip won't fail to delight. The goblet shaped flowers have mahogany-red petals each with a buttercup-yellow feathered edge. These bulbs are perfect for 'bruised' toned borders and compliment rich plums and deep purples.
  
  
• 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 dead-head 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.
