Description
With its panoply of deep wine-red, silky petals and the distinctive, spiky margins of the fringed type tulips, Tulip 'Cranberry Thistle' has it all—a veritable smorgasbord of luxuriant colour and texture. Those rich hues sing out against pale green foliage, for a contrasting display that will be sure to draw compliments. Tulip 'Cranberry Thistle' produces large, deep pluche red blooms, each one resembling a regal thistle. It's the perfect way to add a touch of drama to any garden.
Tulips are often considered the crowning glory of the spring garden, bringing the spring bulbs season to a close with a crescendo of colour. Plant your Tulip 'Cranberry Thistle' bulbs in autumn, in a rich and fertile garden soil or in deep pots of fresh compost, and make sure they’re kept moist but well-drained throughout the cool winter days. In these conditions they’ll settle in nicely, ready to burst forth with long, strong stems when warmer weather arrives!
