Tulip Red Impression Bulbs bring striking elegance to spring gardens with their large, cup-shaped blooms in a rich, velvety red. The flowers stand tall on sturdy stems, complemented by broad, lance-shaped green leaves that add fresh contrast. Reaching up to 60 cm in height, these tulips are excellent for mass plantings, borders, or container gardens, where they create a bold splash of colour. Known for their long-lasting nature, they are also prized as cut flowers, making them perfect for vibrant spring arrangements at home. Their robust growth and classic colour make them a favourite for both formal and informal garden designs.
