Tulipa Havran

Triumph tulip Havran Tulip is sought after for its rich colour and excellent durability. This majestic tulip with its narrow corolla has dark purple, almost black petals. The flowers stand at the top of thick and sturdy stems that reach a height of 45 cm (18in) above the broadly lanceolate green deciduous leaves. It blooms in the middle of the tulip season, in April, at the heart of spring.

Triumph tulip Havran Tulip belongs to the Lily family. Originally horticultural in origin, it is currently classified in the 'Triumph' group, whose main characteristic is flowers with a narrow cup shape, the result of cross-breeding between early single tulips and Darwin tulips. Triumph tulips are well-known for their wide range of colours and strong and resistant flowers, suitable for flower beds and bouquets. They are among the most planted varieties.

Tulips are unmatched for bringing the colours of spring to pots or sunny gardens. Remember to consider the height and flowering period when designing your flower beds, as these can vary significantly from one cultivar to another. It is a good idea to plant a few more bulbs for beautiful cut flowers that last a long time in a vase.

Tulip species can be found in most of the Old World, from Western Europe to China and Japan, through Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, and Central Asia. Their distribution area also includes North Africa and the Indian subcontinent. The centre of diversity for the genus is in the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains and the steppes of Kazakhstan.

There are various wild species, many of which are endangered. These include large tulips normally found in cultivated areas, the most well-known being the Agen tulip (Tulipa agenensis), as well as small tulips found in wooded areas or among rocks in the mountains. In cultivation, these are called "botanical tulips", and one of the most common is the wild tulip (Tulipa sylvestris), which often used to grow in the shelter of grapevines and whose subspecies australis is known as the southern tulip.
