Tulipa crispa 'Eyelash'

The 'Eyelash' Frilled Tulip is not a discreet flower, it proudly displays its fringed white dress edged with magnificent purple lace in borders and bouquets. Original and very pleasing, it adds a touch of exoticism to flower beds and bouquets. This late variety pairs remarkably well with Chinese peonies and white roses.

The 'Eyelash' Dentate Tulip belongs to the lily family. Originating from horticulture and registered in the Netherlands in 2019, it is classified in the 'Crispa' group, characterized by finely dentate petal tips. This tulip will reach a height of 55cm (22in) when in bloom. Flowering occurs in May, slightly later than other tulips, depending on the climate. The flowers are single, with a classic cup shape and a beautiful bicolour combination of white and bright pinkish-purple. The petal edges are widely cut and coloured. The flowers last a long time, extending the tulip season until May. The foliage turns yellow and then dries up some time after flowering.

In the world of flowers, there is truly nothing comparable to fringed tulips to spice up your spring garden with something unique. The 'Eyelash' Tulip is an extraordinary flower for perennial borders and bouquets. Plant the bulbs in small groups of 5, alongside plants that will fill the space after flowering. To accompany it, choose for example white tulips ('Snow Crystal'), pink ('Pink Diamond'), or purple ('Negrita' Double) tulips. By choosing fringed tulips, you will bring a unique touch to your bouquets. Only put a very small amount of water in their vase, just a little at the bottom is enough. Additionally, if your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase every day.
