Tulipa ‘Giuseppe Verdi’ is an eye-catching variety of Kaufmanniana tulip producing large, stunning golden yellow flowers with intense red flames on the outside.

‘Giuseppe Verdi’ bulbs will flower for several weeks in March and April, reaching a height of approximately 20cm/8″, with broad grey-green leaves that are streaked with purple and become wavy as they mature.

These consistent fully hardy spring flowering bulbs will re-emerge for several years, ideally planted in small groups in borders or containers, providing a rare source of fiery and intense early spring colour. They are also excellent as cut flowers, earning a position in the cut flower garden.

‘Giuseppe Verdi’ tulip bulbs can be grown in an expansive range of soil conditions, be it acidic, alkaline or neutral, so long as there is sufficient drainage. They will prefer a position of full sun, in a place where tulips have not been grown in recent years, preferably protected from strong winds. Look to plant the bulbs around 10cm/4″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart.

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