Description
A small, bright red tulip that already blooms in March. The first brightness of spring. Low and undisturbed, perfect at the front of a border.
Scarlet Baby is a Kaufmanniana tulip, also called the Water Lily tulip. In sun the star-shaped bloom opens wide. Then it really does look like a water lily. Low: 15 to 25 centimetres. Plant them in groups at the front, where you see them fully open. Very early: March–April. Scented. This type of tulip does not return on its own. So replant it each year. Very good for pots. Not suitable as a cut flower: too short. Plant them thickly and in numbers – then they shine most.
The Early Herald. March red that says: spring has truly come.
The bulbs come from the Dutch bulb fields. They are hand-selected for quality and size and delivered at the right planting time. A larger bulb holds more food, and you see that in the flower: more blooms, and fuller.

Questions about this tulip.
Plant this tulip in Jan, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec. As long as the ground is not frozen, there is still time.
Rule of thumb: plant a bulb two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. The exact depth and spacing for this variety are on the planting card attached to the bag and in the planting guide we send along.
Fully grown, this tulip reaches about 15-25 cm. Useful to know for the order in your border: low at the front, tall at the back.
Yes, but not every tulip equally strongly. Botanical tulips and Darwin hybrids come back for years; large-flowered tulips are at their best in the first year.

Cool, dry and dark, in the opened bag so they can breathe. Do plant them as soon as possible, because bulbs are not a storage product.
