Tulipa 'Allison Bradley' | Allison Bradley Double Early Tulip

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Tulipa ‘Allison Bradley’ is a double early tulip with peony-style, fully packed blooms in deep plum to reddish purple tones that read almost velvety in cool spring light. Flowers open wide with many layered petals, sometimes showing darker shading toward the petal bases, and hold their form well through changing weather. The color pairs naturally with white and soft pastel spring bulbs and is valued for cut arrangements.

Blooming in early to mid-spring, often beginning in April, it was raised from a deliberate cross of the tulips ‘Monte Carlo’ and ‘Negrita’. Strong stems carry blooms that sit neatly above the foliage, creating a rich accent in beds, borders, and containers where early-season color is welcome.
