May Flowering Tulip World Expression
T1688
Description
May Flowering Tulip ‘World Expression’ produces striking blooms with deep blood-red colouring at the base of each petal, feathering dramatically upward through the primrose-yellow upper sections. The bold contrast and flame-like patterning of tulip ‘World Expression’ create a vivid and highly decorative display in late spring borders and containers.
Long-lasting and carried on strong stems, this eye-catching variety brings warmth, movement, and exceptional garden presence throughout May. A deserved holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it remains a reliable favourite for bold seasonal planting schemes.
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.
