Tulip ‘Cairo’

Tulip ‘Cairo’ is a classic, cup-shaped tulip with an unusual flower colour. Blooms are a distinctive, beautiful burnt orange, with bronze and copper tints thrown in for good measure. They glisten in the spring sunshine – and their colour is fully reminiscent of the golden-orange sands of the Egyptian deserts outside of Cairo! The colouring can be used to bring drama to red and purple spring bedding schemes, or add depth to yellow and orange schemes.

Standing on strong, pale green stalks, elegant Tulip ‘Cairo’ is perfect for garden beds, borders and patio containers. Not only that, but the flowers are also delicately – and deliciously – fragrant! At its best in late April and May, it will reach a height of 45cm / 18″. Also, why not try the blooms in a cut flower display, either mixed with other spring flowers or on their own?
