Red Impression Darwin Hybrid Tulip

Extra-Tall Ruby-Red Tulips That Come Back Year After Year

Red Impression is a Darwin Hybrid tulip, a cross between a Single Late and an Early Fosteriana tulip, and it shows in every part of the plant: oversized, dark ruby-red flower heads held on thick, strong stems that reach about 22 inches. It blooms in mid spring, right when the garden needs color most.

Darwin Hybrids are the tulips gardeners plant when they want more than one season out of them. Red Impression is a favorite for perennializing and is one of the most weather-resistant garden tulips available, shrugging off spring wind and rain that flatten lesser varieties. Plant them in drifts along a walkway, mix them into perennial beds, or tuck a dozen into a large patio container for a portable spring show.
