Tulipa Spryng - Triumph Tulip

Triumph Tulip Spryng is an elegant and charming variety. This majestic tulip with a narrow corolla has intense pink petals and will blend perfectly with other shades of pink and white. The flowers stand atop thick and sturdy stems, 40 cm (16in) high, above the broadly lanceolate green and deciduous leaves. It blooms in the heart of spring starting from April.

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

Tulips are unmatched for bringing the color 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 are found in most parts 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 from crops, 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, they are called "botanical tulips", and one of the most common is the wild tulip (Tulipa sylvestris), which often used to grow under the protection of vines and whose subspecies australis is known as the southern tulip.
