Tulip 'Triumph Red' – 15 flower bulbs (bulb size 11/12)

These 15 'Triumph Red' tulip bulbs will add splashes of red to your garden or patio from March through April. Tulips are the quintessential spring flowers of the Netherlands: one bulb produces one sturdy stem with a large, colourful flower. They look beautiful in borders, window boxes, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in a vase. The bulb size 11/12 indicates the circumference of the bulbs in centimetres; a larger bulb contains more energy reserves for flowering.

Planting and care

Plant the bulbs 10–15 cm deep with the tip pointing upwards, in well-drained soil. Only plant tulips once the soil has cooled, usually from mid-October. This reduces the risk of tulip fire, a fungus that thrives in warm soil. Also check out our range of potting soil & tools to help you plant your bulbs properly.
