TULIP PURPLE

Tulips have been celebrated for centuries, originating in the Ottoman Empire before becoming highly prized in Europe during the “Tulip Mania” of the 17th century. Purple tulips, often associated with royalty and luxury, were developed through selective breeding to achieve deeper and more consistent coloration. Modern cultivars combine classic beauty with traits ideal for cut-flower use, including long vase life, uniform petal shape, and sturdy stems.

Prefers fertile, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Plant bulbs in autumn for spring flowering, spacing them appropriately to allow airflow and growth. Regular watering during active growth supports robust stems and large blooms, but soil should not remain waterlogged. Post-harvest, cut stems should be placed in clean water to extend vase life.

Tulip ‘Purple’ is ideal for spring bouquets, contemporary arrangements, and floral displays emphasizing elegance and depth of color. It pairs beautifully with whites, pale pinks, and soft greens, adding a bold focal point without overwhelming the composition. Perfect for weddings, upscale events, or simply as a striking centerpiece, the single-stem form allows flexibility in both simple and complex arrangements.
