Red is the most traditional, iconic color in tulips, and 'Kingsblood' is one of the 20th century's finest, most enduring reds. Tall, late-blooming, and stately, it's drop-dead gorgeous interplanted with 'Greuze', or sprinkle a few among pastel tulips to add a bit of visual zest, like the maraschino cherries in the fruit cocktail your grandmother used to serve.
