With its striking fringed petals in deep violet, Tulip Blue Heron brings a contemporary edge to classic spring planting. This variety stands out among garden bulbs for its unique flower shape and rich colour, adding a touch of individuality to borders and mixed displays. Blue Heron is often chosen by those who appreciate traditional tulips but are looking for a more modern, expressive look in their garden. Its elegant, upright stems and eye-catching blooms make it a favourite for anyone wanting to create a distinctive spring display.

Planting Time

Plant Blue Heron tulip bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. The soil at this time offers the right moisture and conditions to help bulbs establish ahead of winter.

Planting Depth

Place each bulb at a depth of around 12 cm. This depth supports healthy root growth and protects the bulbs through colder months.

Spacing

Space bulbs 12-15 cm apart. Proper spacing ensures each plant has enough room to develop, resulting in a fuller, more impressive spring display.

Height

Blue Heron tulips reach 50-60 cm in height. Their slender stems and bold flowers fit well in mixed borders, group plantings, or alongside other spring-flowering perennial bulbs.

Flowering Time

This variety flowers from April to May. During this period, the deep purple, fringed blooms bring a strong visual impact to garden beds and borders.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Blue Heron tulip bulbs are winter-hardy and do not require lifting during colder months. Once planted at the correct depth, they can remain in the ground and reliably return each spring.

Uses

Ideal for beds, group plantings, and mixed bulb arrangements, Blue Heron also performs well as a cut flower. Its distinctive blooms hold their shape and colour in vases, making it suitable for both garden displays and indoor arrangements. For a more decorative effect, plant at least nine bulbs together.
