The group of fringed tulips, also known as 'Crispa', gathers varieties with single flowers, and even double flowers for some recent varieties like 'Exotic Sun', which stand out with their satin texture and the finely laciniate upper edge of their petals, as if adorned with frost crystals that enhance their wonderful colours. The origin of this characteristic that makes them so endearing is not known. They bloom in the second half of spring, a little later than other tulips and they have stems of variable height.
These are generally very resistant horticultural varieties, which integrate well both in sunny flowerbeds and in spring bouquets. The range of colours is almost infinite, from the rosy purple of the Tulip 'Louvre', passing through the yellow of 'Maja', the marriage of soft apricot and pink in 'Aleppo', or the bright red of 'Redwing', to the sparkling white of 'Smirnoff'. By mixing varieties and colours, it is easy to create very beautiful floral compositions, worthy of old Flemish paintings.
Their bulbs are easy to grow. They are planted in the autumn, in ordinary soil, moist to dry in summer, loose, well-worked and well-draining. Fringed tulips appreciate a sunny or semi-shaded exposure. You may enjoy their beautiful flowers for several years, it is preferable to feed the bulbs with a dedicated fertilizer, and to dig them up in summer, to replant them in the autumn.
