Tulipa 'Saigon' | Saigon Triumph Tulip

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Tulipa ‘Saigon’ bears deep, saturated purple blossoms, opening in a refined, cup-shaped Triumph form. Flowers emerge in mid to late spring with sturdy petals that hold their shape well through changing weather. The smooth, velvety surface of the blooms gives the color a rich depth. ‘Saigon’ belongs to the Triumph group, a class developed in the Netherlands through early twentieth-century hybrid work to produce reliable spring-flowering tulips with strong stems and consistent bloom timing.

In the garden, Tulipa ‘Saigon’ is valued for its bold, solid coloration and uniform flowering window. It performs well in formal beds, mixed borders, and large drifts where darker tones are used to anchor planting designs. The long-lasting blooms also make it a dependable choice for cut-flower arrangements, where its dark color provides contrast and structure without overwhelming surrounding flowers.
