Tulipa 'Purple Flag' | Purple Flag Triumph Tulip

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Tulipa ‘Purple Flag’ bears rich royal purple blossoms that open with a clean, symmetrical cup shape typical of Triumph tulips. Blooming in mid-spring, the flowers hold their form well through changing weather, maintaining clear color and crisp edges as they mature. The petals show a smooth, even tone that deepens slightly in cooler conditions, giving the flowers a polished appearance from bud to full bloom.

This cultivar belongs to the Triumph group, a category developed through deliberate hybridization to combine reliable flowering with consistent garden performance. ‘Purple Flag’ is widely grown for its uniform bloom time and clear coloration, making it well suited to formal beds, mass plantings, and cut-flower use where color continuity is important.
