Description

Darwin Tulip ‘Parade’ is renowned for its large pillar-box red flowers, dramatically highlighted by a contrasting yellow and black base. The bold blooms of tulip ‘Parade’ bring powerful colour and classic spring impact to borders, containers, and mass planting schemes, where their vivid tones stand out brilliantly against fresh green foliage.

Held on strong, sturdy stems, this striking variety performs reliably in all weather conditions and flowers with impressive presence through mid-spring. Perfect for creating bold seasonal displays, it captures the energy and vibrancy of spring with unmistakable style.

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.
