Description
The Tulip Triumph 'Boston' is a variegated tulip that is ideal for adding a touch of exoticism to spring flowerbeds. Its large, flared flower is beautifully bicolour, with intense purple-pink petals streaked with yellow at the base. Over time, the colours soften and become more pastel. When planted in mass, this variety stands out in the garden. Combine it with yellow and orange tulips or late-flowering daffodils, along with purple foliage, for a guaranteed effect! Its sturdy stem can withstand inclement weather and looks wonderful in bouquets.
The Tulip Triumph 'Boston' belongs to the Lily family. Developed horticulturally and introduced to the market in 2007, it is currently classified in the 'Triumph' group, characterized by narrow cup-shaped flowers. They are the result of cross-breeding between early-blooming single tulips and Darwin tulips. This 'Boston' variety develops a strong flowering stem of about 45cm (18in) in height. Its flower is rather large and distinctly bicolor. It blooms from late April to May, towards the end of the tulip season. The foliage emerges from the ground in spring, consisting of large lanceolate leaves with a glaucous green colour that turn yellow and dry up a few weeks after flowering, when the bulb enters its dormant period.
Triumph tulips are unmatched for bringing spring colour to pots or sunny gardens. When designing your flowerbeds, don't forget to consider the height and flowering period, as these parameters vary significantly from one cultivar to another. It is wise to plant a few extra bulbs for cutting, as they make gorgeous long-lasting cut flowers. 'Boston' finds its place in large flowerbeds, paired with other white or yellow tulips, as well as alongside blue flowers. Forget-me-nots, wood hyacinths, and grape hyacinths will enhance its warm hues. Also plant this Boston tulip at the base of a Japanese maple with purple foliage for a perfect combination of colours and textures. Tulips are also lovely flowers for cutting.

Planting and care
Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to December, at a depth of 15cm (6in), spacing them 10cm (4in) apart. The planting should be done in ordinary soil, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline, loose, well-worked, and well-drained. Never add manure or poorly decomposed compost to the planting soil, as this could cause the bulbs to rot. Tulips will grow well in moist to dry soil in summer. Plant them in a good exposure, sunny or semi-shaded. Once flowering is over, it is preferable to remove the fruits to avoid exhausting the plant.

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.
