    • Why we like this plant

      Tulip 'Backpacker' carries the drama of classic red tulips with a modern robustness. Its vivid colour and sleek form bring a sense of confident elegance to any garden. Perfect when mixed with softer pastel bulbs or planted in bold drifts, it is a favourite for gardeners who appreciate both colour intensity and dependable performance.

    Planting guide

    Plant bulbs in autumn, 10 to 15 cm deep and 10 cm apart, in fertile, well-drained soil with full sun.

    Care tips

    Remove spent flowers promptly to prevent seed formation and encourage bulb strength. Allow foliage to die back naturally to replenish energy stores for the following season.
