Tulip Red Riding Hood is a stunning Greigii tulip variety, famous for its scarlet-red blooms paired with striking, darkly striped foliage. Compact yet eye-catching, it brings a bold splash of spring colour to garden beds, borders, and containers. Its unique foliage ensures interest even before the flowers open, making it a standout variety from early in the season.

A proud RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, Tulip Red Riding Hood is both reliable and easy to grow. Its shorter stature makes it particularly well-suited for the front of borders, rockeries, or pots, where its vivid flowers and patterned leaves can be fully appreciated. Like all tulips, it prefers a sunny position in well-drained soil and looks best when planted in generous groups for maximum impact.

Aftercare
Plant from August onwards in well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Space bulbs around 10cm apart and plant 10cm deep. Remove spent flower heads after blooming, but allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulbs for the next season. Avoid replanting tulips in the same spot year after year to prevent disease build-up.
