This sultry attractive Tulipa Uncle Tom is enchantingly beautiful. This Double Late bloomer is a picture from our range. A beautiful deep red warm colour, with long medium-length stems that will grow about 40 to 50 cm tall. Place these beauties in full sun and in spots where there is also semi-shade. A beautiful double-flowered beauty that dates back to 1939, it is also really the beautiful red glow that makes this Tulip so special.

The origin of this variety comes from the area around Iran and Turkey. Around 1560, this beauty was present in our part of the world, and it was only around 1570 that this beauty arrived in the Netherlands. This variety can of course also be used as a cut flower, and with other tulip varieties around it, such as the Tulip Grand Perfection, it really is one of the cleanest Tulips.
