Tulip 'Triumph Purple' – 120 flower bulbs (bulb size 11/12)

The 'Triumph Purple' tulip blooms in purple from March through April. With 120 bulbs in this package, you will cover approximately 1 m². Tulips are the quintessential spring flowers of the Netherlands: one bulb produces one sturdy stem with a large, colourful flower. Use them in borders, planters, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in a vase. The bulb size 11/12 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
