Description

Double Late Tulip Red Princess is supplied for trade customers requiring larger quantities for landscape schemes, estate planting, public gardens, parks, commercial displays and seasonal spring planting projects. Planted in autumn, Tulip Red Princess flowers in late spring with large, fully double blooms in rich crimson-red tones. The flowers have a peony-style form, with densely layered petals and subtle streaks of green and yellow that add depth and variation to the overall colour.

The inner petals are often darker, giving the bloom a rich layered appearance, while the upright bluish-green foliage provides a clean backdrop to the flowers. The strong red colouring makes Double Late Tulip Red Princess particularly useful for high-impact seasonal displays, formal beds, estate borders, public gardens, hotel gardens, courtyard planters and commercial landscape schemes.

This variety works well in single-variety blocks where a strong crimson display is required, or in mixed schemes with white tulips, yellow tulips, orange tulips, narcissus, muscari and other late spring bulbs. As a double late tulip, Red Princess is especially effective where its full flower form can be appreciated at closer range, including entrances, paths, containers and public-facing planting areas.

For best results, plant in autumn in fertile, free-draining soil in full sun or partial shade. Allow sufficient planting depth and spacing for strong root development before winter. The large peony-style flowers are best positioned in reasonably sheltered sites, as heavy wind or rain can damage fully open double tulips. The trade bag format is ideal for landscapers, contractors, estate gardeners, local authorities and professional horticultural customers managing larger seasonal planting areas.
