Crown Tulip Red Dress
T3002
Description
Crown Tulip ‘Red Dress’ produces richly coloured scarlet-red blooms that bring bold warmth and vibrant energy to spring gardens. The vivid petals of tulip ‘Red Dress’ create an eye-catching display in borders, containers, and feature planting schemes, where the intense colour adds drama and elegance throughout the season.
Flowering on sturdy upright stems, this striking variety makes a powerful statement when planted in groups or paired with contrasting whites and darker tulips. Its glowing tones capture the spirit of spring.
Care Guide
October to November are the optimum months for planting Tulip bulbs. The cooler late-autumn temperatures help to keep disease at bay, whilst still allowing time for your bulbs to put roots down before spring.
Any well-drained, fertile soil is perfect for Tulips, ideally in full sun or part shade. Plant the bulbs 10-20 cm deep, spaced 10-20 cm apart. A piece of chicken wire or mesh can be placed on top of the soil or pots after planting if squirrels or rodents are a problem in your area.
After flowering in March to May, remove withered stems, foliage and any fallen petals to promote good plant health and apply a top dressing of high-potash fertiliser in late winter.

Artist
T1499
Blooming in shades of salmon and rose, flushed with dark green and muted purple, the pointed petals of Viridiflora Tulip ‘Artist’ look as though they have been painted with the sweeping strokes of an artist’s brush.
These unique Heirloom tulips are long-lasting and return every spring for years to come, unlike many modern tulip varieties. The stems are not especially long, so plant near the front of the border and fill your pots to ensure tulip Artist’s exceptional beauty is not overshadowed by taller plants.

White Triumphator
T1756
Tulip ‘White Triumphator’ is a fine lily-flowering tulip which trumps most other pure white varieties. Tall stems allow the willowy blooms to tower above most other spring bulbs and sway gently on the spring breeze. This lily-flowered tulip has the ability to fit into most planting schemes with ease, adding structure and elegance to chic modern designs and traditional cottage gardens.
Tulip ‘White Triumphator’s’ excellent performance in the garden and long-lasting blooms have helped this tulip to gain a respected Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.

Mount Tacoma
T1819
Tulip ‘Mount Tacoma’ is full of beauty and grace, yet is surprisingly tough and sturdy, unbothered by late spring rain and winds.
Green and pink buds open fully in April and May to flaunt multiple layers of pure-white, ruffled petals. The large blooms are extremely long-lasting and make fabulous cut flowers, often mistaken for paeonies.
A classic favourite, paeony-flowering tulip ‘Mount Tacoma’ pairs well with the marshmallow-pink tones of ‘Angelique’ and lemony ‘Avant Garde’ for a fresh-looking display.
