Tulipa Red Emperor (Fosteriana Tulip)

Award-winning Tulip 'Red Emperor' or 'Madame Lefeber' is one of the most famous Fosteriana Tulips, with its huge, vivid blood-red blossoms. Petals open out flat on sunny days, revealing a black heart, or take an urn shape under cloud cover. Just a few bulbs can make an impressively dramatic display! Enjoying a sturdy stem, it will withstand strong winds and float gracefully above its elegant foliage. An ideal colorful focal point in the spring garden!
