Tulip Giuseppe Verdi is a charming Kaufmanniana tulip producing vibrant golden yellow flowers boldly flamed with rich scarlet red. The pointed petals open wide in sunshine to reveal striking star-shaped blooms, bringing brilliant colour to the early spring garden throughout April and May. Reaching approximately 20cm in height, this compact variety is ideal for rockeries, borders, patio containers and naturalising beneath deciduous trees.

Easy to grow and dependable, Tulip Giuseppe Verdi is an excellent choice for smaller spaces and front-of-border planting. Its vivid two-tone flowers pair beautifully with blue Muscari, white crocuses and miniature daffodils, creating colourful spring combinations that return year after year.

Aftercare
Remove faded flowers once blooming has finished, but allow the foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can store energy for the following season. Plant in well-drained soil to keep bulbs healthy over winter. Lifting and storing bulbs after the foliage has died back may improve flowering performance in heavier soils.
