Tulipa Beauty Trend

Triumph tulip Beauty Trend is a variety of well-contrasted and elegant shades. This tall tulip with a narrow corolla has white petals edged and lightly speckled with a very bright, almost flashy, pink, carried by thick and sturdy stems. Its flowers have a thick and waxy substance and a pleasant fragrance. It blooms in the middle of the tulip season, in the heart of spring, depending on the climate.

Tulipa 'Beauty Trend' belongs to the Liliaceae family. Of horticultural origin, it is currently classified in the 'Triumph' group, whose main characteristic is narrow cup-shaped flowers. Perched on tall stems of 55 cm (22in) well above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the elegant flowers are pure white, edged with a very bright pink in an irregular brushstroke, with spots of the same tone. They are in the shape of a long, narrow cup with six "petals" (more precisely tepals). They are carried by very long stems, perfect for cut flowers. They will flower in April, in the heart of the tulip season.

The 'Beauty Trend' tulip fits well in large beds. Its fresh colour allows for associations with tulips in white or red tones to form a nice contrast. This also maximizes the duration of flowering in the beds. Mix it with daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths or even Corsican hellebores and euphorbias, and you will get surprising compositions. It can also be planted in borders, rockeries, flower beds, pots and containers. This tulip will be beautiful on balconies and terraces. It pairs well with tall perennials and is ideal for creating elegant bouquets. In a vase, very little water at the bottom is enough! Also, if your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase every day.

Regarding botanical species: tulip species are found in most of the Old World, from Western Europe to China and Japan, passing through Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, and Central Asia. Their distribution area also includes North Africa and the Indian subcontinent. The centre of diversity of the genus is in the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains and the steppes of Kazakhstan. 

There are various wild species, many of which are endangered. These are either large tulips originally from crops, the most well-known being the Agen tulip (Tulipa agenensis), or small tulips present in wooded areas or among rocks in the mountains. In cultivation, these are called "botanical tulips," and one of the most common is the wild tulip (Tulipa sylvestris), which often used to grow sheltered by vines and whose subspecies australis is known as the southern tulip.
