Description
Use Tulip 'Purple Pride' to make meandering swathes of mellow mauve in your borders or plant perfect purple-themed pots on your patio. If pastel shades are your spring aesthetic, introducing candy-purple tulips with cool but intense colour like Tulip 'Purple Pride' to your planting scheme will help you to achieve that blissful, soft-hued floral perfection. A cross between two much-loved tulip types, darwin hybrid and fosteriana, you can enjoy long-lasting colour, large blooms, strong stems and look forward to perennial flower power striking from your Tulip 'Purple Pride' bulbs not just in the first year, but also in future years.
Combine Tulip 'Purple Pride' with other mid-height tulips in shades of pink and white or add layers of colour with dainty lower-height bulbs such as Chionodoxa, Anemone blanda or botanical tulips. If you want to add height, a strong contrast and vertical accent, perfect your planting scheme with a few near-black Fritillaria persica like 'Twin Towers Tribute' or 'Purple Dynamite'. A combo with Tulip 'Purple Pride' will look incredible!
