Description
Tulip Finola is a luxuriously soft-toned double late tulip that embodies elegance and classic romanticism in garden design. Each large, fully double bloom opens in layers of blush-pink, cream-white, and soft rose, with hints of green on the outer petals that mature into a gentle pastel harmony. Its peony-like form makes it an excellent substitute where high visual value is needed without overuse of perennial blooms. Flowering in late spring on sturdy 35–40 cm stems, it’s perfect for bridging the gap between spring bulb colour and summer perennials.
Highly effective in formal and naturalistic schemes alike, Finola thrives in full sun and fertile, free-draining soils across Irish conditions. It suits municipal planters, curated landscape borders, cottage-style beds, or high-footfall commercial frontages where subtle elegance and structure are key. It pairs beautifully with Allium Graceful Beauty, Camassia leichtlinii, or late-flowering daffodils for layered succession. It’s also an outstanding cut flower, adding soft structure and scent to floral arrangements.
Although double forms offer limited access to pollinators, Finola contributes value through visual signaling and continuity in garden colour. Biodiversity planting can be bolstered by including Muscari, species tulips such as pulchella humilis, or nectar-rich perennials in surrounding schemes. A must for romantic, vintage-themed gardens or high-end spring bulb plans.
