Description

Tulip Escape is a vivid, early-flowering Triumph tulip with glowing red petals and a bright, high-sheen finish. Standing at 50 cm tall, it brings energetic presence to beds, borders, and amenity schemes where early impact is essential. Its upright cup-shaped blooms hold well in exposed conditions, making it ideal for use in roadside beds, hotel entrances, commercial planters, civic centre courtyards, institutional gardens, and public park focal points.

Escape thrives in full sun and free-draining, moderately fertile soils. In heavier soils, incorporate horticultural grit, compost, or sharp sand to improve root health and drainage. It excels in public-facing displays, school gardens, rooftop terraces, and seasonal bedding schemes for retail or healthcare settings. It is particularly effective when planted en masse for high-colour saturation or layered beneath taller structural bulbs such as Allium Purple Sensation.

It pairs well with whites like Tulip Hakuun or yellows such as Strong Gold for dynamic spring contrast, or with pale pink hyacinths and blue Muscari for a softened early spring palette. While Escape is not strongly scented, its reliable early flowering fills seasonal gaps in nectar availability, supporting short-tongued bees and hoverflies. Its open structure allows some pollinator access, especially when planted within multispecies biodiversity schemes.

Escape is a high-performance cultivar for landscapers seeking vivid early colour in schemes with strong visual expectations, limited maintenance capacity, or constrained seasonal timelines.
