Red tulip belongs to Tulipa. This popular spring bulb grows from plump underground bulbs. Single cup-shaped vivid red flowers stand straight on sturdy stems. It breaks dormancy and blooms in early spring after cold winter chilling. The plant dies back naturally after flowering, and the bulb remains dormant underground until next spring. Well-drained soil is critical to prevent bulb rot; avoid overwatering especially during dormancy. It creates stunning mass color blocks when planted in groups.
It fits USDA hardiness zones 3 to 8. It requires cold winter chilling period for normal blooming. It can survive freezing winter underground, and blooms in spring when temperature rises.
