Tulipa Mascotte - Fringed Tulip

The 'Mascotte' Fringed Tulip has brilliantly coloured, semi-double flowers in April-May. Its beautiful flower is gracefully fringed on the edge, with a satin finish and is captivating with its rich bright pink to raspberry colour enriched with purple highlights. In a flowerbed, as a border or in a bouquet, it will beautifully announce spring.

The 'Mascotte' Double fringed tulip belongs to the Liliaceae family. Of horticultural origin, introduced in 2004, it is currently classified in the 'fringed' group, whose main characteristic is to have finely toothed petal tips. This tulip will reach 40cm (16in) high when in bloom in April-May, a little later than other tulips. The flowers are semi-double to double, with a slightly open cup shape, bright pink to raspberry with highlights of mauve and purple, depending on the lighting. The fringed edges of this magnificent tulip evoke frosted crystals. The flowers last a long time and allow the tulip season to be extended until May.

In the world of flowers, there is truly nothing quite like fringed tulips to spice up the spring garden, especially since their flowers show excellent durability, even in hot weather. Ideal in a flowerbed or as a border, 'Mascotte' Double Tulip pairs well with other varieties in soft pink or mauve tones, such as 'Belle Epoque', 'Britt', or even soft yellow flowers. It will also create beautiful spots in perennial flowerbeds, with late white daffodils and biennial plants that will fill the space after flowering. You can choose forget-me-nots, dame's rocket or wallflowers for this purpose or dark foliage such as Obsidian heuchera. Fringed tulip will add a unique touch to your bouquets.
