Tulipa Innuendo - Triumph Tulip

Tulipa 'Innuendo' is a beautiful bulbous plant. It bears single flowers with elongated cups, whose pearly-white petals are widely edged with bright pink that can extend to a deeper magenta as the flower ages. The intense green colour of its leaves leans towards blue and is remarkably shiny.

Tulipa 'Innuendo' belongs to the Liliaceae family. Of horticultural origin, it is currently classified in the Triumph group, whose main characteristic is to have narrow cup-shaped flowers, carried by medium-sized stems that are very strong and particularly resistant to bad weather. Derived from the cross-breeding between early simple tulips and late simple tulips, Triumph tulips bloom in April-May. They are ideal for flower beds, in exposed locations, and show a real elegance combined with excellent vase life.

Tulipa 'Innuendo' works well at the edge of large flower beds. It creates beautiful combinations with white tulips such as T. 'Ibernia' and T. 'White Dream', or T. 'Purple Flag' and T. 'Holland Beauty' with a deeper shade of mauve. This also maximises the flowering period. Mix it with daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths, Corsican hellebores, and euphorbias, as well as tall perennials for colourful scenes. It can be planted in rockeries, flower borders, pots, and containers. This tulip also brings a beautiful brightness to balconies and patio. It is ideal for creating elegant bouquets. Only use a little water in a vase. If your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase each day.
