Tulipa 'Pinocchio' is a dwarf tulip, perfect for planting in the rockery or in containers. It produces bright scarlet red flowers with cream edges, above unusual purple-marked leaves, in April and May.
For best results grow Tulipa 'Pinocchio' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Plant bulbs in November. Once they have flowered, water regularly and remove blooms as they fade to prevent plants wasting energy setting seed.
