This is a firecracker of a tulip, as a species variety it’s smaller and more delicately shaped than a hybrid tulip but this one makes up for its size in colour. The petals are two-toned, the tangerine-red petals open up to reveal bright yellow insides. Its leaves are fine and it’s perennial, returning, more and more of it, year after year. Brilliant for pots and then transferring to a border.
