Preastans Fusilier, one of our favourite red tulip.
Bunches of up to five flowers are carried on medium tall stems clasped by silver-green upright leaves. The scarlet tone of its many flowers is not deep but high and clear; a lovely flashing colour. Introduced in the 19th century when Russian travellers began to explore the regions of Central Asia. Found in Tajikistan in the southern Pamir Alai and also near Bokhara, growing on steep slopes and in light woodland. Quite persistent under normal garden conditions, returning for years in a sunny spot. Great in pots as well. Early to mid spring. Height 25cm.
Suggestion; try mixing it with Tulip Preastans Shogun for a sophisticated spectacle.
