Tulip - Princeps - Tulipa - Early, lasting spring colour - Bulbs - Giga Pack - 250 pcs

The Princeps tulip is a classic early spring Fosteriana variety celebrated for its vivid red, elegantly chalice-shaped blooms. As one of the first to flower, it brings fresh colour to the garden as early as March. Its broad, light green leaves create an appealing contrast with the bright petals. The low, sturdy habit and reliable tolerance of variable weather make Princeps an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders and containers. It is a dependable variety suitable for gardeners of every experience level.

Planting time

Plant the bulbs in autumn, from October to November. This timing allows them to root properly before winter sets in.

Planting depth

A planting depth of around 10 cm is recommended. This protects the bulbs from freezing and supports healthy growth.

Spacing

Allow about 10 cm between bulbs. This ensures vigorous plants and attractive, compact flowering groups.

Height

Flowering period

This variety blooms very early, from March to April. The flowers last for several weeks, enriching the garden with intense red colour.

Overwintering

Princeps is fully frost-resistant and can remain in the ground throughout winter without lifting. This makes it a practical, low-maintenance option for any garden.

Uses
