Tulipa Curly Sue

Dark, intense and simple, the beautiful delicately fringed flower of Tulipa 'Curly Sue' will seduce you with its deep purple colour. It slightly changes colour when fully blooming to become enriched with a pinker, almost red glow that becomes evident when the sun shines through its petals. In a flowerbed, as a border or in a bouquet, it will beautifully announce spring. With its very robust stem, it is perfect for well-ordered flowerbeds and makes an excellent cut flower.

The 'Curly Sue' fringed tulip belongs to the lily family. Of horticultural origin, it is currently classified in the 'fringed' group, whose main characteristic is the finely toothed edges of its petals. This majestic tulip will reach a height of 50 cm (20in) when in bloom in April-May, a little later than other tulips. The flowers are single, with a slightly open cup. Initially dark violet, they then take on shades of violet, magenta, and purple. The fringed edges of this magnificent tulip give it a unique personality. The flowers last a long time in a vase or in the garden and allow you to extend the tulip season until May.

In the world of flowers, there is nothing which compares to fringed tulips to spice up your spring garden with something unique. 'Curly Sue' with its dark and rich shade, will enhance all other flowers in the bed. It emerges from flowerbeds to harmoniously blend with perennials, more pastel tulips and biennial plants that will fill the space after its flowering is over. You can choose forget-me-nots or wallflowers for this. By choosing fringed tulips, you will add a unique touch to your bouquets.
