Description
The Shooting Star Triumph Tulip is a recently developed variety, still rare on the market, that captivates with the fragrance and cheerfulness of its enormous yellow flowers. Both voluptuous and sparkling, its flower carried by a sturdy stem makes a sensation, and its strong personality will be highlighted by light flowering in neutral tones, white or blue. In flower beds as well as in bouquets, Shooting Star is a flower that stands out and brings that essential touch of good mood.
The Shooting Star Tulip is a plant in the Lily family. Of horticultural origin, registered in the Netherlands in 2015, it is currently classified in the group of 'Triumph' tulips, whose main characteristic is to present flowers in the shape of a narrow cup, full of elegance. It will reach about 35cm (14in) in height when flowering, while showing good resistance to rain and wind. Perched on the stems, well above the broadly lanceolate green-blue leaves, the single flowers are very large, tapering at the opening, and slightly more open at full bloom. The colour of the petals is a pure and vibrant yellow, and the flowers have a noticeable fragrance. Flowering occurs in April, in the heart of the tulip season.
The Shooting Star tulip finds its place in large, well-drained flower beds, alongside plants with foliage (grasses, fennel, lady's mantle), Muscari and hyacinths, white-flowering tulips ('Calgary'), orange-flowering tulips ('Véronique Sanson') or mauve-flowering tulips ('Synaeda Amor'), narcissus such as 'Thalia' or 'Mount Hood'. It can be planted in borders, rockeries, flower beds, even in pots and containers, consider it for your balconies and terraces. Ideal for creating elegant bouquets, use very little water in their vase, just a bottom is enough. Furthermore, if your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase each day. By mixing tulips, you can also create your own harmonies. Combine them with plants with foliage like lady's mantle or Tiarella, which will conceal the empty space left by their dry foliage in summer.

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 undecomposed manure or 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 sunny or semi-shaded location. After flowering, 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.
