What are Triumph Tulips?

Triumph tulips are the largest group of tulip varieties, providing an assortment of colors in mid-late spring. The blooms are single and of the classic tulip cup shape. They are short to medium in height, growing between 10 – 24 inches tall (25 – 60cm) on sturdy stems.

How to plant tulips

Tulip bulbs like a well drained soil. It is important not to over water them in winter but keep them moist during the growing season from early spring. If planting in pots we use a mixture of garden soil, grit and loam. Compost can dry out very quickly and once it loses its moisture it doesn’t take on moisture very quickly. Tulip bulbs are often cultivated in very sandy soil.

Plant in full sun or a slightly shaded position at approximately 10cm deep. You can plant up to 70 bulbs per square metre.
