Tulip - Princeps - Tulipa - Early, lasting spring colour - Bulbs - Large Pack - 50 pcs

The Princeps tulip is a classic early spring member of the Fosteriana group, valued for its vivid red, elegant, cup shaped blooms. It flowers among the first, bringing fresh colour to the garden as early as March. The plant also features broad, light green leaves that frame the flowers beautifully. Its compact habit and strong tolerance of shifting weather make Princeps a dependable choice for rock gardens, borders and containers, suitable for gardeners of all experience levels.

Planting time

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

Planting depth

A planting depth of about 10 cm helps protect the bulbs from frost and supports healthy growth.

Spacing

Allow around 10 cm between bulbs so the plants can develop well and form cohesive flowering groups.

Height

Princeps tulips reach roughly 25 cm. Their low stature makes them ideal for border edges, rock gardens and pots.

Flowering period

This variety blooms very early, from March to April. The flowers remain for several weeks, adding a strong red accent to the garden.

Wintering

Princeps is fully frost resistant and can stay in the ground year round without lifting. This makes it a practical, easy option for any garden.

Use

Perfect for rock gardens, low borders, containers and group plantings. Its intense colour and lasting display also make it suitable as a cut flower. Princeps is an excellent way to bring early season brightness into the garden.
