Description

Tulip Renown is a bold and highly reliable Darwin Hybrid tulip, valued for its large, goblet-shaped blooms in a bright, hot pink colour, often highlighted with subtle apricot-orange tones along the petal edges that add warmth and depth as the flowers mature. The colouring remains vivid even in Ireland’s cool and changeable spring weather, making Renown particularly effective for creating strong visual impact in borders, public planting schemes, and large-scale bedding. Flowering in mid to late spring, this variety typically reaches 55–65 cm in height and is carried on thick, upright stems that cope well with wind and rain, ensuring a clean, professional appearance throughout the flowering period. As a Darwin Hybrid, Renown has good potential to perennialise when planted deeply in fertile, free-draining soil, returning year after year with consistent performance and uniform flowering. Fragrance is minimal, but the open flower form offers modest accessibility for pollinators, especially when planted alongside muscari, alliums, or camassia to enhance biodiversity value. Tulip Renown performs equally well in mixed spring borders, formal landscaping, and as a durable cut flower with strong stems and good vase life, making it a dependable choice for Irish gardeners, landscapers, and professional horticulturists seeking vibrant colour and structural reliability.
