Tulipa Apricot Favourite - Triumph Tulip

The Tulip ‘Apricot Favourite’ is a refined, captivating Triumph variety with its large, traditional cup-shaped flowers in blending shades of apricot, pink, and sometimes peach, depending on the light. Between April and May, it reaches approximately 40 to 45 cm in height in bloom and stands out for its excellent performance both in the ground and as a cut flower. This tulip offers a stable and bright flowering period ideal for beds, borders, containers, and then vases. It withstands inclement weather well.

Belonging to the Liliaceae family, the Tulip 'Apricot Favourite' is a cultivar from the Triumph division, prized for its large cup-shaped flowers. The plant reaches about 40 cm in height. It forms few bulblets, so renewal relies more on annual replanting rather than natural division. The 6 to 8 cm wide flowers feature an almost symmetrical cup with six slightly pointed tepals, nuanced with salmon, apricot, and pink, with subtly lighter edges. Flowering occurs in mid-spring, from late April to early May. The medium green, lanceolate foliage measuring 30 cm is deciduous, and fades with natural drying after flowering. The root system is bulbous and suits well-drained and fairly dry soil outside the growing season.

The Tulip ‘Apricot Favourite’ brings the softness of a spring sunrise, its apricot and pink tones blending naturally into pastel or powdery displays. It pairs wonderfully with white or cream daffodils of sober silhouettes, like a serene focal point among abundant foliage. In a pot on a patio, paired with a Tulip ‘Spring Green’ with its ivory green and Tulip ‘Mistress’ with its soft pink, it can evoke an impressionist painting. With its elegant habit, this tulip can thus becomes a discreet colour scheme thread among the garden' palette.
