Tulipa Paradiso - Early single tulip

The Tulip 'Paradiso' belongs to the Liliaceae family. Of horticultural origin, it is currently classified in Division 1, known as the Single Early Group, whose main characteristic is to flower very early in the season. It reaches 30 to 35 cm in height when in flower. Its sturdy stems rise well above the lanceolate foliage in the form of wide flowers in a narrow cup shape, measuring about 6 cm wide and formed of six symmetrical tepals. Its flowering begins as early as March or early April, marking the start of the tulip season. Single early tulips offer a beautiful diversity of colours and reliable flowering ideal for both borders and cut flowers. Their exceptional performance in pots will enable you to enjoy their brilliance for longer, especially in early spring. To best enjoy their visual impact and prolong the pleasure of flowering indoors, it is wise to plan for a few extra bulbs for cut flowers as they hold up so well in a vase.

The tulip 'Paradiso' lends itself to structured, vibrant scenes when incorporated in small groups into a sea of blue forget-me-nots or white daisies, to emphasise the intensity of its colouring. In a pot on a patio, it will stand out if surrounded by miniature daffodils or grape hyacinths. For a more sophisticated  display, it will harmonise beautifully with the orange-hued Tulipa 'Princess Irene', the deep purple Tulipa 'Purple Prince', or the delicate Tulipa 'Apricot Beauty', in a subtly nuanced contrast.
