Overview

Red Hunter' was selected by the Royal Horticultural Society to mark its bicentenary and with its reliable ability to return each year, we can see why. Excellent for providing impact at the front of a border, on a rockery, or planted en masse in patio pots, the scarlet red flowers are held on short stems, each with a central black blotch, and provide a splash of long-lasting colour from mid-spring onwards. Surrounded by attractive, upright, narrow, grey-green foliage, this is one of the very best red tulips available and carries the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. The image above shows 'Red Hunter' blooming amongst blue 'Grape Hyacinths' (Muscari armeniacum).
