Triumph Tulip Negrita

Deep plum-purple flowers add plenty of drama to flower beds, borders, container plantings and cut-flower displays. Triumph tulips are the result of crossing the long-stemmed Darwin hybrid tulips with the short-stemmed early tulips. When planted outdoors, their flowering time is in between these two varieties, blooming late April through early May. With their strong stems, large flowers, and medium, 18" heights, triumph tulips are excellent as potted plants. Triumph Tulip Negrita is ideal for forcing for Valentine's Day or Easter. For best results, plant tulip bulbs in well-drained soil and in full sun to partial shade.
