Tulipa hybrid
True to its name, Tulip Kingsblood (Tulipa hybrida) is a majestic single late tulip that stands out with its deep, blood-red blooms. This rich, regal hue commands attention with its bold intensity. Supported by strong, upright stems and lush green foliage, Kingsblood delivers a striking visual impact.
With the ability to thrive without as cold a winter as other tulips, Kingsblood is a top choice for gardeners not only in cool regions but also in warmer climates, including subtropical areas. Its adaptability allows it to perform well across a range of growing conditions, offering planting flexibility. It grows beautifully in full sun to part shade with well-draining soil, making it a versatile choice for beds, borders, containers, and cut flower displays. Unlike fleeting tulips, Kingsblood naturalises, returning each year with its unmistakable burst of powerful red.
Easy to grow, long-lasting, and unforgettable, this tulip brings bold beauty and drama to your spring display. Add Kingsblood to your collection for a show-stopping display fit for royalty.
