Tulip ‘Labrador’ stands out among garden bulbs for its distinctive claret flowers and heavily fringed petals, a striking combination that immediately draws the eye. This relatively new variety is seldom found in gardens, making it a choice for those seeking something truly individual. Its bold form and deep colour create a strong visual accent, particularly as it comes into flower in early spring when most plants are only just beginning to emerge.
Plant Labrador tulip bulbs in autumn, ideally between September and October. This timing gives the bulbs enough opportunity to establish roots before winter, ensuring healthy growth and flowering in spring.
Place each bulb at a depth of around 12 cm. This protects the bulbs from temperature fluctuations and provides the stable conditions needed for strong development.
Allow 12 cm between each bulb. This spacing supports healthy plants and ensures the flowers have enough room to develop their characteristic fringed blooms.
Labrador tulips reach a height of 45–50 cm. Their upright growth makes them suitable for both borders and container displays.
The flowering period for this variety is April to May. At this time, the rich claret blooms provide a vivid highlight in the garden, often before many other plants have started to flower. This early display is ideal for adding colour and interest to key areas at the start of the season.
Labrador tulip bulbs are hardy and can remain in the ground for several years. Annual lifting is not required, though lifting and dividing every 3–4 years can help to rejuvenate and multiply your planting bulbs.
The unique appearance of the Labrador tulip makes it a strong choice for anyone looking to create a memorable planting scheme. The fringed petals are eye-catching in beds, borders, and containers. These tulips also perform well as cut flowers, lending an element of individuality and vibrancy to spring arrangements. With 250 bulbs in this bulb pack, you can achieve a dramatic mass planting or combine them with other perennial bulbs for varied displays.
