Tulipa "Kingsblood" is an elegant flower that belongs to the Single Late class. Introduced in 1952, it still enjoys great popularity worldwide.
The flowers crown long, strong stems. Therefore, this variety is ideal for producing high-quality cut flowers, not only outdoors but also for forcing. It grows well in both sunny and semi-shaded locations.
Characteristics:
- strong stems covered with oblong green leaves;
- plant height reaches 60 cm;
- bud height 7-8 cm;
- light, noticeable fragrance.
It can be planted in freely arranged groups under trees, in mixed borders, or in rock gardens. It combines well with other lighter varieties and spring-flowering bulbs. For planting, choose a location protected from cold winds.
The planting soil should have drainage but at the same time retain moisture well, as the bulbs do not have deep roots. It is best to dig up the bulbs every year after flowering and store them in a dry, cool, dark place. Then, replant them in autumn before the frost, so they can root well.
