Description
Tulip Striped Crown is a Triumph Crown variety that is chosen for pattern rather than plain colour, bringing stripe or feather-style markings that give a more decorative, designed look in spring planting. Colour ranges from cream to soft yellow with overlays? of unpredictable streaks, specks and stripes in red and pink. Coloration changes throughout the season. It is best used in repeated groups so the pattern reads as an intentional effect rather than a one-off novelty.
Supplied as a 12-bulb pack in outers of 5, it is easy for retailers to stock in tidy shelf blocks and easy for customers to repeat for multiple patio planters or a short border drift.
Tulips are not generally dependable naturalisers in Irish gardens, so for consistent yearly display it is best treated as seasonal and refreshed each autumn.
Tulips are mainly ornamental, but open flowers can contribute small amounts of pollen during mild spring spells.
