Tulip 'Floresta' is a beautiful Kaufmanniana tulip that produces elegant pointed blooms with creamy white petals boldly brushed in rich red. Flowering from March to April, its distinctive waterlily-shaped flowers open wide in the sunshine, creating a striking display in patio pots, containers and spring borders. Compact and reliable, this variety reaches approximately 20cm in height, making it ideal for smaller gardens and outdoor living spaces.

Part of the Patio Collection, Tulip 'Floresta' is perfect for containers, window boxes and front-of-border planting. Hardy and easy to grow, it thrives in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil and can naturalise in favourable conditions, returning with vibrant spring colour year after year. It combines beautifully with miniature daffodils, muscari and crocus for an extended seasonal display.
