Why we like this plant
Tulip 'Red Impression' is a true garden classic, offering both scale and presence in spring displays. Its bold, silky-red blooms sit proudly atop strong stems, standing up well to wind and weather. As a member of the Darwin Hybrid group, it is prized for its vigour and reliability, often returning for several years when planted in the right spot. It makes a superb foil for pastel tulips or spring perennials, and shines particularly well when planted en masse for maximum impact. An ideal choice for those seeking a timeless and dignified tulip.

Planting guide
Plant in autumn, 15 cm deep and 12 to 15 cm apart, in fertile, well-drained soil with full sun.
Care tips
Remove faded blooms to prevent seed formation, and allow foliage to die back naturally. In good soil and sunny positions, bulbs may perennialise with minimal attention.
