Tulip Red Riding Hood (Greigii)
Tulipa
OUT OF STOCK
This Greigii Tulip has fine, beautifully formed oriental scarlet flowers. It is highly compact, growing to a height of only 20-30cm, and flowers March/April. The inner petals are brighter, with a dark base and flecks of yellow in the centre. The spectacular, grey-green mottled purple foliage is a particular highlight. 10-11cm bulbs supplied, which we recommend you plant around 10cm deep in well drained, fertile soil and in a sunny or partially shaded location. Excellent alongside contrasting tulips of a similar style, such as Albion Star, or beside your other red varieties.

Soil Type
Well drained garden soil |
Plant bulbs in well dug soil about 8-10cm deep and approx 15cm apart. It is often beneficial to use a little bonemeal or super phosphate mixed in with the soil. Tulips delight during their growth in a sunny location.
After the tulips have bloomed and when leaves fade and turn brown the bulbs can be lifted, dried, cleaned and stored in a cool place until planting time. Tulips should not be grown in the same soil for several years, so replace with fresh soil every other year.
