Description

Tulip Embrace® is a bold reddish-purple Triumph tulip, offering deeply saturated petals with subtle mauve undertones and a smooth, rounded cup shape. Flowering in mid to late April, it reaches 40–45 cm in height and brings strong contrast and depth to spring planting schemes, both traditional and contemporary.

This cultivar thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained, fertile soils. It is highly effective in civic beds, formal walkways, hospitality displays, commercial landscaping, and raised container schemes. Embrace® also excels in structured residential borders, public-facing forecourts, and urban spaces where strong single-colour massing is desired. For improved performance in heavier soils, blend in grit or coarse sand to encourage root development and prevent standing water.

Ideal pairings include white tulips like Hakuun, pale blue Muscari like Baby’s Breath, or pink double tulips such as Pink Star for balance and tonal contrast. Its robust flowering form and mid-season timing offer moderate ecological support to early hoverflies and short-tongued solitary bees. Although not intensely scented, Embrace® adds a mild spring fragrance in warm conditions, contributing a subtle sensory layer to seasonal designs.

This tulip is a staple for designers seeking to ground lighter spring schemes, add structure to pastel groupings, or bring formal drama to curated planting. Well-suited to use in modern hospitality landscaping, retail frontages, and ceremony-focused gardens.
