Description
The 'Purple Prince' Tulip produces, from March-April, single flowers richly colored in violet-purple, very long-lasting in a vase and carried by very strong stems against the wind and rain. Its range of purplish hues blends beautifully with tulips in pink, mauve or dark violet, in a subtle mix of complementary colours.
The 'Purple Prince' Tulip, introduced to the Netherlands in 1987, belongs to the Liliaceae family. Of horticultural origin, it is currently classified in Division 1 of tulips, whose main characteristic is early flowering in the season. Of modest size, it will reach a height of about 30-35 cm (12-14in) in bloom. Perched on sturdy and stout stems well above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the long cup-shaped flowers, measuring 7 to 8 cm (3in) wide, display a mauve-purple colour on the outside, and a darker violet on the inside. The centre of the flower is marked by a small yellow area. The flowering takes place in March-April, at the beginning of the tulip season. This tulip is the origin of 3 renowned varieties: 'Light Pink Prince', 'Pink Prince', and 'Salmon Prince'.
This tulip is cultivated very well grouped in flower beds, or in pots to bloom on your balconies and terraces. It is planted from October to December in fertile and well-drained soil, in association with tulips 'Evita', 'Bleu Aimable', 'Diana', 'Christmas Pearl' or 'Reine de la Nuit', for beautiful colour combinations. Early single tulips are Unmatched to bring the colour of spring in pots where they last longer than other tulips, or in sunny gardens. Do not forget to consider the height and flowering period when designing your flower beds, as these parameters vary significantly from one cultivar to another. It is wise to plant a few more bulbs for cutting, as they make gorgeous cut flowers that last a long time in a vase.

Planting and care
Place the single 'Purple Prince' tulip preferably in a sunny spot from October to December for a beautiful spring flowering. You can also place it in a partially shaded location. Plant the bulbs as soon as possible in a light, fertile, and well-drained soil, loosened to a depth of 12 cm (5in) (bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs 10 cm (4in) apart, making sure they do not touch each other for a mass effect; cut the flower stalks after flowering. Allow the leaves to dry completely before cutting them. Early tulips do not like stagnant moisture and tolerate dry soils well in summer.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
