Our favorite red tulip for perennializing, Darwin Hybrid Tulip Red Impression produces dark ruby red flowers atop sturdy 22" stems. Darwin hybrid tulips are sometimes called the Giants of the Garden. These tulips were developed as a result of crossing the Single Late (Darwin and Cottage) tulips with the Early Fosteriana tulips. Truly exceptional, they are among the most weather resistant of all garden tulips with large flowerheads on strong stems. These statuesque beauties have exceptional perennial qualities and will produce many lovely giant flowers year after year with proper care. We recommend fertilization twice a year with our 100% Natural Bulb Food to improve their perennial nature.

I planted these all across the front of my house in a large amount and they were beautiful. I had many wonderful comments from Neighbors. Surprisingly the deer did not eat any of them. This was a top choice for me. I'm really happy I picked these.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
