May Flowering Tulip Kingsblood
T1679
Description
Tulip ‘Kingsblood’ produces deep cherry-red blooms edged in scarlet on long, strong stems throughout May.
This seductive tulip has been granted a respected Award of Garden Merit by the RHS for its sophisticated looks and excellent, long-lasting performance. May-floweing ‘Kingsblood’ is also wonderful for cutting and adding to flower arrangements and bouquets.
Combine with pink tones in the border, pot or vase for a romantic look, or mix with dark, sultry purples for drama.
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.

Dens Canis Lilac Wonder
M5341
Erythronium Dens Canis 'Lilac Wonder' is a charming spring bloom which bears dainty, lilac-rose flowers with striking, chocolate-brown basal spots. As the nodding blooms mature, their colourful petals fold back, exposing pollen-dusted anthers to bees and pollinators.
Attractive foliage is marbled green and purplish brown, appearing in clumps from which the delicate-looking, hardy blooms spring up during March and April. Perfect for naturalising in shaded areas, nestled beneath trees and shrubs. Erythronium are better known as Dog’s Tooth Violets, for their bulbs resemble canine teeth.
A recipient of the Award of Garden Merit from the RHS, Erythronium Dens Canis Lilac Wonder is known for its exquisite looks and excellent, perennial performance.
