Triumph Tulip Shirley

Triumph Tulip Shirley

Classical, egg-shaped, ivory-white flowers are edged in purple. Triumph Tulip Shirley adds stately color and charm to the garden and indoor settings. 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 20" height, these triumph tulips are excellent as potted plants for Valentine's Day and Easter, and are superb in beds or borders.
