Tulip ‘Sevilla’ (10 bulbs)

Tulipa ‘Sevilla’ is a fantastic perennial tulip from the Triumph group that produces single, cup-shaped red flowers above green, lance-shaped leaves.

Beyond its stunning appearance, this variety is also exceptionally reliable and consistent with a proven track record and excellent disease and pest resistance, as recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society with its coveted Award of Garden Merit.

Flowering in April and May, these bulbs will reach a height of approximately 55cm/22″.

‘Sevilla’ bulbs are perfectly suited for beds and borders, in combination with flowering shrubs and conifers. Alternatively, use them in pots, containers or as cut flowers. For the greatest visual impact, plant in groups of at least 10-15, amongst other complementary shades such as a white or yellow in order to create contrast and highlight their vibrant beauty.

‘Sevilla’ tulip bulbs should be planted 10cm/4″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart, in almost any soil, be it acidic, alkaline or neutral, so long as there is sufficient drainage. Plant in a position of full sun, in a place where tulips have not been grown in recent years, preferably protected from strong winds.

Remove flowers when they begin to fade and support them after planting with a top dressing of slow acting fertiliser, such as bone-meal, to assist the flowering.
