Triumph Tulip Purple Perfection Duo

Triumph Tulip Purple Perfection Duo

A mix of plum-purple 'Negrita' and white edged with purple 'Shirley', Triumph Tulip Purple Perfection Duo adds a regal look to flower beds, 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 18-20" height, this tulip duo is excellent as potted plants for Valentine's Day and Easter, and are superb in beds or borders.

Mixed Plum Parade Tulip Mix with Triumph Tulip Purple Perfection Duo and all came up as described and beautiful. Bulbs were timed well in opening so we had continuous and changing colors for well over a month.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Not as pictured. Flowers were creamy and did not lighten as they aged. The purple flowers were more burgundy. Bulbs were healthy. Most flowered. But they were disappointing.

Not At All As Pictured

Submitted 2 years ago

By Benchy

From Wisconsin

You should definitely change the picture in the catalog and on line. These tulips "Shirley" are not at all as pictured. I was looking for a white tulip as in your catalog and didn't get that at all. I have some other white tulips that look much more like "Shirley" than the ones I purchased from you. I like white tulips and that's the reason I purchased this duo. Please take a real photo to use so buyers don't spend money on something they really didn't want.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Beautiful but not as pictured

Submitted 2 years ago

By DanaA

From Springfield IL

The purple are true to photo but the white tulips are pink and not white. The tulips were long lasting, tall and beautiful. Good quality but too bad the white was not true to the photo.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Great blooming, but Shirley not as depicted

Submitted 2 years ago

By Melissa

From Oxford MS

These bloomed well, especially the purple Negrita, but the Shirley was not at all as pictured. It is beautiful, but I would not have included it with my purple, yellow and white mix of tulips. It is more of a lipstick pink stripe than a purple picotee.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I added these to a planter with come pansies.. and it was beautiful this spring. We had construction going on nearby - and the tulips just kept on blooming despite all the chaos!

Spring bulbs are so much fun

Only a couple of the 25 didn't bloom, good success rate. There are still a few hanging on; they came up as the daffodils were waning. Now my Hosta and Lilies are filling in. Hope to see them next spring as well. Thanks

Only two bloomed out of entire bag

Submitted 4 years ago

By Mohawk1022

From Myrtle Beach SC

Only two of these bulbs bloomed out of the entire bag. Contacted customer service, never heard back. The two that did bloom, it was only the purple ones, nothing in the white. Disappointed that there was nothing more produced out of this.
