Zetas Own Tulip 'Purple Rain', Tulipa 'Purple Rain' (Crispa Zalm Bruin)

We discovered this rarity at a small nursery in Holland and instantly fell in love. The grower, a man in large wooden clogs with a garden filled with hundreds of tulips and daffodils, told us it would take several years to propagate enough bulbs. We decided to wait, and after three years of patience we can finally offer a limited quantity of this magical variety.

Tulipa ‘Purple Rain’ (Crispa Zalm Bruin) is a unique fringed tulip with outer petals shimmering in deep purple-violet, edged with golden-yellow frills. Its dark plum-colored stems create a striking contrast, enhancing the dramatic beauty of the flower. It is particularly stunning alongside red-leaved plants such as copper beech and bugbane, or combined with other dark tulips like ‘Queen of Night’.

Bulb size: 12/+
Blooming period: May
Height: approx. 50 cm

Contains 7 bulbs.

Plant in odd numbers, in groups of at least five to ten. The distance between the bulbs should be around 12 cm. Planting depth should be three times the height of the bulb. Dig a planting hole and loosen the soil with a spade. Then mix in some Zetas bulb fertilizer into the soil and cover the bulbs. Spray tulips, snowdrops, and crocuses with TRICO Garden to keep them safe from hungry deer. Pinch off the flower when it has finished blooming, let the foliage wither. Longevity depends on weather.
