The Halcro tulip is a simple late-blooming variety with bright red flowers reaching a height of 60 to 70 cm. This variety blooms late, allowing the decorative flowering season in the garden to be extended. Due to its height and vibrant color, the Halcro tulip is ideal for creating flowerbed compositions as well as for cutting and use in bouquets.
The plant is highly cold-tolerant and can be successfully grown in USDA climate zones 1 to 9, corresponding to a temperature range from -51.1°C to -3.9°C. In colder zones 1 and 2, winter protection is recommended to preserve the bulbs. The Halcro tulip is resistant to diseases, making it a reliable choice for gardeners seeking minimal care and consistent results.
For successful cultivation, the Halcro tulip prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil that provides optimal conditions for bulb development. The plant is sun-loving and requires sufficient light for full growth and flowering. As a bulbous plant, the tulip forms a capsule fruit and looks excellent both in mass plantings and as a single accent on the flowerbed.
