'Blue Heaven'
Tulips tinged with blue are few and far between, but Tulip 'Blue Heaven' is among the best of them. Not only does it brandish the much sought after blueish hue among its lavender-mauve and pink petals, but it’s multiheaded too. That means you don’t just get one flower per stem, but up to five! Why not enjoy maximum flower power from the tulip bulbs you plant? They look gorgeous in the garden and equally so in cut flower arrangements, pairing beautifully with other tulips in cool, soft and dark tones.
Flowering later in the tulip season, you’ll find Tulip 'Blue Heaven' bursting into blissful bloom from around late April and lasting into May. There’s so much potential during tulip season—make it last for as long as possible by planting early, mid and late season tulips. If pink, blue and purple form part of your colour palette, let Tulip ‘Blue Heaven’ blend beautifully among it for the later part of the season.
Are you ready for Tulip 'Blue Heaven' to take away your breath? With its 4-7 flowers for each bulb, you're sure to stay mesmerized for quite some time. The egg-shaped blooms are expectedly soft and vibrant in either a bluish-pink or mature lavender-blue. Tulip 'Blue Heaven' is as close to blue as tulips come. Pick up some of these mid-spring beauties and they will truly brighten up your living space. Who said you can't find a little bit of heaven on earth?

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, 15–20cm deep and around 10cm apart. You can leave a little more space between them in borders.
Water once after planting to settle the soil. Border-grown tulips rarely need further watering, but containers should be kept lightly moist and never waterlogged.
Remove faded flowers, then allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally. This helps the bulbs store energy for the following year.
