Description
The Tulip viridiflora 'Twilight Princess' produces classically shaped flowers, brushed and streaked with light green on a cream-white background, which are suitable for both borders and vases. They bloom in April-May, adding a fresh touch to borders, beds, and pots. Planted en masse, it pairs beautifully with other spring blooms. It looks particularly stunning alongside dark tulips such as 'Negrita' or 'Black Parrot'.
The Tulip viridiflora 'Twilight Princess' belongs to the Liliaceae family. It is a horticultural variety introduced to the market in 2011 and is currently classified in Division 8, which is the least significant group closely related to late-flowering single tulips. The main characteristics of 'Viridiflora' tulips are a relatively late flowering season and flowers streaked or streaked with green. The 'Twilight Princess' variety will reach a height of 45 cm (18in) when in bloom. Perched on sturdy stems, well above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the flowers are cup-shaped and measure 6 cm (2in) wide. Their six cream-white "petals" (more precisely tepals) are randomly streaked with light green in the centre. The flowering takes place at the end of April or in May, towards the end of the tulip season. Another advantage of the Tulip viridiflora is that its flowers remain beautiful for at least three weeks. It is an excellent cut flower.
The Tulip viridiflora 'Twilight Princess' can be paired with both biennial and perennial flowers, for example with daisies or pink pansies. It adds charm to your borders. It can also be planted in small clusters in rockeries and, of course, used in bouquets with roses and gypsophila, for example.

Planting and care
Place the green-flowered tulip in a sunny spot for a beautiful spring flowering. You can also plant 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 15 cm (6in) (bulbs should be covered with twice their height in soil). Space the bulbs 10 cm (4in) apart, making sure they do not touch each other to create a mass effect that will be more decorative.

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.
