Tulip
'Lambada'
Tulip 'Lambada' brings a lively, sunlit energy to the late spring garden, its softly glowing blooms alive with warm tones of orange-yellow and vivid red to coral pink flaming. There is a natural rhythm to Tulip 'Lambada', each cup-shaped flower edged with delicate fringing that catches the light and adds a gentle sense of movement. As the petals open, the colours seem to shift and dance, giving Tulip 'Lambada' a warmth that feels both cheerful and refined. Flowering later in the season, it slips effortlessly into planting schemes, pairing beautifully with apricots, soft reds and fresh greens for a harmonious yet spirited display.
Reaching around 50cm in height, Tulip 'Lambada' stands tall on sturdy stems above its grey-green, lance-shaped foliage, offering both structure and reliability in borders and containers. The distinctive fringed edges give Tulip 'Lambada' an added layer of texture, making it particularly rewarding up close or as a cut flower indoors. A few stems can instantly brighten a room, their warm tones echoing the ease of early summer. With its blend of vibrant colouring and elegant form, Tulip 'Lambada' feels both playful and poised, a variety that brings a gentle sense of celebration to the garden.

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.
