Description
Tulip 'Purple Flag' is a vibrant mid-spring tulip variety celebrated for its rich, velvety purple blooms and strong, upright stems. Its classic cup-shaped flowers open in April, adding a bold and elegant splash of colour to garden beds, borders, and containers. With a slightly glossy finish and intense pigmentation, 'Purple Flag' stands out in any spring display, whether planted alone or combined with other tulip varieties for contrast.
Plant tulip bulbs in Autumn, in a spot with well draining soil and full sun from October to December, before the ground freezes. Space bulbs approximately 10 cm apart and plant them at a depth of two to three times the height of the bulb. Water after planting, add compost or mulch to help improve drainage and boost growth. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed the bulb for the following year.
Tulips are perfect for planting in flower beds, garden borders, and patio containers. Their upright form and showy blooms are ideal for formal planting schemes or mixed garden styles. For maximum impact, plant in groups or drifts of one colour or blend different varieties for a multi-tonal display. Tulips also make excellent cut flowers, allowing you to bring their vibrant beauty indoors.
