Description

Tulip Maureen is one of the most elegant and versatile white tulips available, a classic single late tulip renowned for its towering height and luminous presence. Its pure, creamy-white blooms open late in the season, often providing the final grand crescendo to spring tulip displays. Standing tall on strong stems, Maureen makes an imposing figure in Irish gardens and public spaces, cutting through the greenery with refined clarity.

Planted in groups or drifts, Maureen creates striking sweeps of clean white, ideal for brightening shaded areas or balancing plantings heavy with colour. In mixed borders or civic beds, its neutral tone serves as a canvas against which richly coloured tulips like Queen of Night, Menton, or Merlot truly stand out. The flowers perform best in sunny, well-drained positions, and when planted in fertile soil in autumn, they return reliably with consistent vigour.

Though not notably fragrant, Maureen contributes to biodiversity by offering accessible pollen late in spring when early bee forage begins to dwindle. It’s especially effective in public planting schemes, formal avenues, and large-scale urban displays where its stately height and pristine petals carry impact from a distance. In private gardens, it excels as a background tulip, lifting borders or providing the finishing touches to container groupings.
