Tulip
'Wicked in Pink'
Tulip 'Wicked in Pink' is a delightfully indulgent variety, its sumptuous, peony-like blooms unfolding in layers of rich pink with a curious hint of fresh green at the base. There is something almost confectionary about Tulip 'Wicked in Pink', as though each flower has been carefully assembled into a perfectly sculpted dessert. The buds begin as tightly held green forms before gradually opening, revealing increasingly generous petals that deepen in colour as they mature. Flowering in mid to late spring, Tulip 'Wicked in Pink' brings both texture and a playful sense of abundance to borders, where it pairs beautifully with softer greens and airy companions.
Reaching a little taller and fuller than many similar types, Tulip 'Wicked in Pink' stands with quiet confidence on sturdy stems, making it as practical as it is eye-catching. Its full, multi-layered blooms make Tulip 'Wicked in Pink' particularly rewarding as a cut flower, where each stem offers a generous, almost theatrical display indoors. In garden beds or containers, it creates a sense of movement as the flowers continue to open and evolve over time. With its blend of playful form and rich colouring, Tulip 'Wicked in Pink' feels both modern and indulgent, a variety that invites a second glance and rewards it handsomely.

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.
