Description

Tulip Apricot Pride is a refined, mid-season tulip known large, upright and elegant blooms, with warm apricot-pink colouring that can soften towards blush pink, milky white and pale beige as the blooms mature. This gives Apricot Pride a more refined effect than strong red, orange or yellow tulips, while still providing enough size to work in larger beds and public-facing schemes. Apricot Pride is  a Darwin Hybrid tulip with large flowers on strong stems, making it an Irish favourite. Blooming from early to mid-April, it provides a calm, warming presence in structured borders, spring floristry schemes, and residential landscaping where tone harmony is a priority. It is particularly effective in repeated groups, where the changing apricot and pink tones give depth without looking harsh.Best suited to full sun in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained loam, Apricot Pride performs well in raised beds, estate borders, or urban courtyard containers. It is an excellent foil to stronger pinks or reds and pairs especially well with Narcissus Salome, or blue Hyacinth like Blue Jacket or the darker Blue Trophy. Though only lightly scented, the slightly open bloom shape allows access to foraging bees and beneficial hoverflies. Its medium height makes it ideal for layered bulb displays or formal bedding layouts with alternating tone bands.
