Triumph Tulip Ronaldo
Triumph Tulip Ronaldo
Unusually colored tulip makes a dramatic statement in the spring garden and a vase. Triumph Tulip Ronaldo features deep carmine-red, 4" blooms that are almost black toward the base and middle. It offers a nice change from the brighter colors of other spring-blooming bulbs. Growing 14-18" tall, Ronaldo is very long lasting in the garden and in indoor arrangements. It can also be grown in a container and forced indoors for Easter blooms. For the best garden performance, plant tulip bulbs in well-drained soil and in full sun to partial shade.

Did Not Disappoint!
These were gorgeous against our gray house. They were just tall enough to peak out from behind the shrubs where they were protected from the deer. I'll be ordering more.
Gorgeous
Verified Buyer
This tulip is gorgeous. The lighter color on the edges makes it glow. The flowers are on long stems and held up well.
Unique Color!
Probably my favorite color tulip. Color pretty much as pictured, kind of a dark maroon. A stunning contrast to other colors. Highly recommend!
Lovely Tulips
Strong healthy tulips that are long lasting. Paired with the Triumph Tulip Pink and they looked lovely... the Ronaldo are a bit taller. Looking forward to next year's blooms and hoping for some additional volunteers.
I just like it!
Verified Buyer
One of my absolute favorite tulips. Grows well, hardy, unique color close to maroon, medium size blooms with good shape.
Ronaldo tulips
Verified Buyer
Unfortunately Ronaldo did not do very well for me in the season 2022-23: possibly this was the effect of two very cold spells (in early winter and very early spring), which may have affected the bulbs I planted in pots. The ones in the ground did better over all, but some flowers were small and stunted.
Beautiful color and 100% bloom rate!
Big, healthy-looking bulbs, and every single one of the 25 bloomed! The color is deep and striking, just as pictured.
Loved the shape!
Verified Buyer
Very late tulip. Bloomed after Mother's Day and lasted weeks in bloom. Great vase life too. Super long stem. I planted in a semi shaded area so maybe they were stretching for more light.
Just perfect
Verified Buyer
Dramatic color!
Great spring display!
Verified Buyer
These tulips were so beautiful!! I paired them with the purple and white picotee Shirley tulips and they were beautiful together. Every one came up and every one bloomed!! I took many precautions to keep the moles from eating the bulbs. From enclosing the bulbs in fine fencing to spraying with castor oil and putting coffee grounds around them. It worked!!!
Questions & Answers

Showing 3 out of 3 Questions
- Q
Do the triumph Ronaldo tulips bloom only one year? Are they once and done or do they come back in subsequent years in zone 6?
- Asked by Christopher
- Verified Reply - AngelaUnder ideal growing conditions, Triumph Tulip Ronaldo can behave as a perennial. Most gardeners plant new bulbs each year for reliable color. If you want to encourage them to return, it's important to allow the foliage to die back naturally, keep the soil on the dryer side in summer and fertilize after blooming and again in the spring.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q

- Q
Which Tulips can grow in zone 9 San Jose Ca 95148
- Asked by Christine
- Verified Reply - ViciTulips are recommended down to zone 8. If you choose to grow them in zone 9, you would need to chill the bulbs for 10 - 14 weeks in a refrigerator before you plant them. Once the bulbs have bloomed and the leaves die back, you will need to dig them each fall and repeat the chilling process.Was this answer helpful to you
