Tall and stately, our Sky High Scarlet Single Late Tulip is a must have for any cutting garden. Strong and sturdy stems up to 24" make this tulip one of the best for cut flowers. This bright red tulip is one of the most popular red varieties we sell and blooms in late spring to early summer, making it a wonderful transition flower between your spring and summer gardens. Late blooming or mayflowering tulips are some of the tallest tulips available! They have oval shaped blooms in a wide range of color.

Planting Advice

Tulips perform best in full sun to partial shade
Plant tulips when temperatures have cooled in your area in fall. Once your daytime temperatures are in the 60’s or lower consistently, this is a good time to plant your tulips.
Tulips require 12-16 weeks of consistent temperatures below 50 degrees in winter in order to produce a flower bud; tulips are best suited to cold climates.
Adequate drainage is essential to the health of your tulips. Amend your soil with top soil and organic matter such as compost, manure, leaf mold or peat moss prior to planting. After you have amended your soil, it should be light and easy to work with.
Fertilize at planting with Hi Yield Bulb Food or for organic gardening use Bulb-Tone. Apply fertilizer at least 3” below the bottom of the bulbs so that the roots will get the most benefit from the fertilizer.
Tulips should be planted at least 6-8” deep with the pointed side of the tulip facing towards the sky. Dig the planting hole 12” deep so you can add fertilizer to the bottom of the hole. After adding fertilizer back fill with 3-4” of soil, plant your bulbs, then back fill with remaining soil.
Space tulips 4-6” apart when planting individual bulbs. For mass planting and brilliant bursts of color in the garden, plant the bulbs 2-3” apart in bouquet planting groups, trenches and garden beds.
Immediately after planting, water the tulip planting area. This helps to eliminate air pockets in the soil. After the initial planting, it is not necessary to provide any supplemental water to the area. In spring once the tulips have emerged you may water as necessary, although spring rains often make providing additional water unnecessary.
Apply a layer a 2” layer of mulch in late fall.

These tulips came up and have started to bloom. They are much smaller than I expected, but they seem healthy and the flowers are pretty.

Sky high is right! These are super tall and deeply colored tulips. Very showy and really make a statement. Planted my first ones last fall and they bloomed right on time! Will be ordering more next year.
