Its flowers also have a slight fragrance. The stems are thick and strong. It blooms in the middle of the tulip season, in April, depending on the climate.

Description

Tulipa 'Mistress' is one of the best pink varieties, as its fresh-coloured flowers also have excellent durability. Its classic cup shape, elegant and long-lasting flowers, have light pink petals blushed with a deeper pink, which gives the flower a unique radiance when the sun shines. 'Mistress' also has a subtle floral fragrance. Its thick and sturdy stems are weather-resistant and make beautiful bouquets. It blooms in mid-tulip season, in April, depending on the climate.

 

Tulipa 'Mistress' belongs to the Lily family. It is of horticultural origin, obtained in 1999 in the Netherlands, currently classified in the 'Triumph' group, whose main characteristic is narrow cup-shaped flowers. Perched on tall stems 45 to 50 cm (18 to 20in) above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the elegant and understated, large, sweet candy pink flowers, harmonise easily with a whole range of soft or vibrant colours in flower beds. They have a narrow cup shape with six, thick and slightly translucent "petals" (more precisely tepals), carried by very sturdy stems, perfect in flower beds or vases. It will flower in April, in the heart of tulip season.

 

Triumph tulip 'Mistress' has a place in large flower beds. Its fresh colour allows for associations with tulips in white, pink, mauve, black, or red shades, or with blue flowers (Forget-me-nots, Grape Hyacinths, Squills, Hyacinths), in beautiful pastel and romantic compositions. This also maximizes the flowering duration of the flower beds. Combine it with daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths, or Corsican hellebores and euphorbias, and for different scenes. It can be planted in borders, rockeries, flower beds, pots and containers. This tulip beautifully enhances balconies and terraces. It pairs perfectly with tall perennials, and it is ideal for creating elegant bouquets. When using it in a vase, use very little water, just enough to cover the bottom! If your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase each day.

 

Regarding botanical species: Tulip species are found 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 located in the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains and the steppes of Kazakhstan. 

There are different wild species, most of which are endangered, the most well-known being the Agen Tulip (Tulipa agenensis), and one of the most common being the Wild Tulip (Tulipa sylvestris), which often used to grow sheltered by vineyards. Its subspecies australis is known as the southern tulip.

Planting and care

Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to December, at a depth of 15 cm (6in), and 10 cm (4in) apart in ordinary, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline, loose, well-worked, and well-draining soil. Never add manure or poorly decomposed compost to the planting soil, as this could cause the bulbs to rot. 'Mistress' tulip will thrive in soil which is moist to dry in summer, in a sunny or partially shaded location. After flowering, it is best to remove the seed heads to avoid exhausting the plant.
