Tulipa 'Calypso' bulbs grow into a mesmerising tulip with glowing orange-red flowers with a thin yellow margin and a discrete black base.
This variety was also awarded the Royal Horticultural Society prestigious Award of Garden Merit thanks to its excellent reliability, consistent results and thorough disease and pest resistance.
These hardy spring flowering bulbs are perfect for planting in small groups in borders or containers, providing a source of fiery early spring colour, preferably protected from strong winds. They are also excellent as cut flowers, granting themselves a spot in the cut flower garden.
'Calypso' tulip bulbs can grow in practically any soil, be it acid, 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. Plant the bulbs approximately 10cm/4" deep and 10cm/4" apart.
