Features

notes

Reaching 50cm high, Tulip Merlot is a striking accent to any border with its pointed, deep reddish-purple flowers. It is this colour intensity that makes this tulip such a favourite, both with gardeners and florists alike.

Insights
  • Pair with other jewel colours, especially acid greens, which will make its bold colour pop.
  • For the best visual impact, plant in groups (at least 10-15 bulbs).
