Tulipa 'Bastogne'

The tulip is a stalwart of the late-spring garden. There are hundreds to choose from, including traditional, single cup-shaped varieties, double-flowered cultivars and those with elegant, goblet-shaped flowers. Tulips grow best in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. However, they don’t always come back the following year and are therefore often best treated as annuals.

Tulipa 'Bastogne' is a wonderful tulip, bearing bright red flowers on strong stems. Grow it in a mixed herbaceous border among white, yellow and purple flowers, or on its own in a large pot. 'Bastogne' makes a fantastic cut flower.
