Tulip Pinocchio is a charming Greigii variety that brings vibrant colour and character to spring gardens. Its striking red blooms are edged with creamy white, creating a bold contrast that stands out beautifully against its unique striped green foliage. Compact and sturdy, this short-stemmed tulip is perfect for the front of borders, smaller beds, or containers, where its vivid colours can be fully appreciated.

Tulips thrive in well-drained soil and prefer sunny spots, though the blooms will last longer in partial shade. Tulip Pinocchio also works well in mixed bulb plantings, such as pots layered with daffodils and crocus for a long-lasting spring display.

Perfect for front borders, patio pots, and mixed spring bulb displays. Its unique striped leaves and compact size make it ideal for smaller gardens or for planting in groups where colour impact is needed.
