Tulip ‘Praestans Fusilier Unicum’ (10 bulbs)

Tulipa ‘Praestans Fusilier Unicum’ is a bulbous perennial producing up to five stunning scarlet red blooms per stem as well as creamy-white margined, variegated foliage.

Blooming throughout April and May, these plants can grow up to a height of around 25cm/10″ on largely concealed strong green stems.

These spring bulbs will keep flowering, year after year, in borders, around shrubs and conifers and in containers on terraces and balconies. Conversely, they can be dispersed together into grass in order to gradually naturalise over time creating swathes of early season colour. Irrespective of location, they should ideally be planted together in groups for the greatest visual impact.

‘Praestans Fusilier Unicum’ tulip bulbs are able to be grown in almost any soil, be it acid, alkaline or neutral, provided there is good drainage. Look for an area of full sun, preferably in a place where tulips have not been grown in recent years. Plant the bulbs approximately 10cm/4″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart.
