Tulip 'Triumph Red' – 60 flower bulbs (bulb size 11/12)

These 60 'Triumph Red' tulip bulbs will add splashes of red to your garden or patio from March through April. Tulips are the quintessential Dutch spring flowers: each bulb produces one sturdy stem with a large, colourful bloom. They look beautiful in borders, planters, 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.
