Description

The 'Red Dress' Tulip is a superb variety known as a "crown flower". Its large corolla unfolds petals that are strangely curled along the edge, almost piped, which beautifully enhance the intense red colour of its dress. It blooms in the middle of the tulip season, in April-May, just after the early tulips. It would be beautiful in a festive bouquet or in a modern garden, paired with small white muscari and its counterpart in immaculate white, the 'White Liberstar Tulip'.

The 'Red Dress' Tulip is a plant from the Liliaceae family. Of horticultural origin, this variety was registered in the Netherlands in 2015. It is currently classified in the 'Crown' group, whose main characteristic is partially piped petals. It reaches a height of 35cm (14in) when in bloom, while showing good resistance to rain and wind. Perched on the stems, well above the broadly lanceolate bluish-green leaves, the single, very large flowers have a somewhat square shape and a thick, silky texture. The colour of the petals is a superb red with magenta and violet reflections. The flowering period is from April 15th to May 15th, in the heart of the tulip season.

The 'Red Dress' tulip, not very tall, finds its place in borders or in large, well-drained flower beds, alongside plants with foliage (grasses, fennel, lady's mantle) and white-flowering tulips ('Calgary'), pink or mauve ('Synaeda Amor'), narcissus such as 'Thalia' or 'Mount Hood'. It can be planted in borders, rockeries, flower beds, even in pots and containers, so consider it for your balconies and terraces. Ideal for creating elegant bouquets, use very little water in the vase, just a bottom will do. Furthermore, if your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase each day. By mixing tulips, you can also create your own harmonies. Combine them with foliage plants that will cover the empty space left by their dry foliage in summer.

Planting and care

Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to December, at a depth of 15cm (6in), spacing them 10cm (4in) apart. The planting should be done in ordinary soil, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline, loose, well-worked, and well-draining. Never add manure or poorly decomposed compost to the planting soil, as this could cause the bulbs to rot. Tulips will thrive in moist to dry soil during summer. Plant them in a sunny or semi-shaded location. Once flowering is over, it is preferable to remove the fruits to avoid exhausting the plant.
