Description
Tulip 'Rimini' is a spring showstopper with a smart two-tone twist. Its large, cup-shaped flowers are a striking mix of deep reddish-purple and bold, broad white edges—like a perfectly tailored outfit with just the right amount of contrast. The colour combination is crisp without being cold, and it brings a confident pop to borders, beds or spring containers. Flowering in mid to late spring, Tulip 'Rimini' stands tall on strong stems, making it ideal for cutting too, should you feel like bringing a bit of garden drama indoors. Tulip 'Rimini' doesn’t whisper for attention—it asks politely, then earns it.
As reliable as it is handsome, Tulip 'Rimini' performs best in well-drained soil and a sunny position, returning each year with that same polished finish. It mixes beautifully with other tulips in white, pink or deep plum tones, and holds its own easily in more complex planting schemes. Whether you’re planning formal rows or naturalistic drifts, Tulip 'Rimini' adds definition and a welcome dash of flair. For gardeners seeking a variety with strong lines, a modern feel and dependable charm, Tulip 'Rimini' is a solid choice.
