Tulip 'El Cid Dubbel'

Bold, richly coloured and unapologetically opulent, Tulip ?El Cid Dubbel? commands attention with its sumptuous, peony-style blooms. Layer upon layer of ruffled petals unfurl in a dramatic blend of deep red flares against a gold ground, creating a lavish, flame-like effect. This double-flowering tulip brings a sense of theatre to spring displays, standing out brilliantly in borders or containers. Its sturdy stems support the generous blooms well, making it as reliable as it is eye-catching. Evocative of Dutch still life paintings, ?El Cid Dubbel? captures the drama and opulence of historic ?Tulipmania?, reimagined through modern breeding. Ultimate height: 55cm (22in). Ultimate spread: 15cm (6in).
