This variety is dependable in variable spring weather and is also excellent for cutting, making it a strong choice when you want both vibrancy and sophistication in your spring displays.

Botanical name

This variety belongs to the genus Tulipa, a bulbous perennial valued for its ornamental spring performance.

Growth habit

The plants develop an upright, tidy clump that is especially effective when set out in groups or larger drifts. Their neat structure makes them easy to incorporate into mixed borders, beds, and more formal designs.

Height

Mature plants reach about 40 cm. This medium height suits the front and middle of borders and pairs well with other spring-flowering bulbs and early perennials.

Flowers and colour

The blooms are large and boldly coloured, blending red and yellow tones with a subtle sheen on the petals. They create a strong focal point outdoors and remain attractive as cut flowers in vases and spring arrangements.

Flowering period

Givenchy typically flowers from April to May, depending on the season. When planted in groups, it delivers a vivid display just as many other plants are beginning their early growth.

Foliage

The foliage consists of broad, fresh green leaves that arise from the base of the stem. These leaves form a clean backdrop that enhances the brightness of the blooms.

Position and soil

This tulip grows best in full sun or light shade. It prefers well-drained soil and does not tolerate waterlogging, particularly in winter. Soil enriched with compost or well-rotted organic matter supports strong rooting and dependable flowering.

Planting depth

Plant the bulbs at roughly 10-12 cm deep, measuring from the top of the bulb to the soil surface. Set each bulb with the pointed end upwards, cover with soil, and firm lightly.

Planting time

The best planting period is from September to November. Planting in autumn allows the bulbs to form a strong root system before winter and encourages consistent spring flowering.

Spacing

Leave about 10 cm between bulbs. This spacing produces a full display without overcrowding, giving each bulb space to develop well.

Hardiness and overwintering

This hardy variety suits typical temperate outdoor conditions. The bulbs can remain in the ground throughout winter as long as the soil is well drained.

Uses

Givenchy is ideal for borders, front plantings, and decorative beds. It looks most impressive in generous groups and pairs well with other tulips and spring bulbs. Its sturdy stems and striking blooms also make it an excellent cut-flower choice for indoor arrangements.
