Tulip Bulbs - Darwin & Triumph
Tulip flower bulbs will be available to order from spring 2025 for delivery and planting in autumn 2025.
For spring planting, check out our wildflower bulbs ‘In The Green’ which are available to order now for planting from January to March.
Darwin tulips are a hybrid crossed between single-late and early emperor tulips. Usually flowering from mid-April to mid-May they have strong stems and goblet-shaped flowers making them ideal for use as cut flowers. Triumph tulips, also a single cup variety, are one of the largest groups of tulips, meaning they come in every colour imaginable from vivid shades such as Ile De France tulip bulbs, to more unusual colours such as Cairo tulip bulbs.
