Tulip Julius Caesar is a vibrant Kaufmanniana tulip producing brilliant scarlet-red flowers with contrasting dark centres that open wide in sunshine to reveal their striking star-shaped form. Flowering during April and May, this compact variety reaches approximately 30cm in height and is distinguished by its attractive dark striped foliage, adding ornamental interest even before the flowers appear. Its early flowering habit and compact growth make it an excellent choice for brightening spring gardens.

Supplied as a value bag of 20 bulbs, Tulip Julius Caesar is perfect for planting in borders, rockeries, containers and beneath deciduous trees. The low-growing habit and colourful blooms create eye-catching drifts of spring colour, while the sturdy stems withstand typical spring weather with ease.

Plant in well-drained soil and avoid waterlogged conditions during dormancy. Tulip Julius Caesar performs best in a sunny position and will return reliably each spring when left undisturbed.
