Apricot Beauty Tulip (Tulipa 'Apricot Beauty') is a fragrant and subtle blooming spring flowering bulb with smooth, sculpted blooms with a green star at the base of each blossom! Ranging from dark to light peachy apricot throughout their bloom.

The blooms attract butterflies and bees and slowly colonize gradually forming naturalized bunches throughout the garden! Even a hummingbird or two will stop by to check out these luscious blossoms. The vase-shaped clumps of soft green foliage look great long after the flowers fade.

Apricot Beauty Tulip is a hardy spring ephemeral throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 7 and grows to a graceful clump about 18 inches tall and nearly as wide. Fast-growing and loving the full sun, these lovely Triumph Tulips shine each spring!

Planting and Application:

Apricot Beauty is a Triumph Tulip that is well-known to be good for forcing! Pick up a fancy urn, shallow dish of moss, or a special forcing vase to enjoy these blooms in the winter to break up the dreary indoor landscape! Wonderful gifts and pretty vase arrangement additions, you'll brighten your (or that someone special) day with their subtle peachy-keen color!

Tulips have lovely foliage that looks great among other bulbs and as edging along garden beds and borders. Highlighting perennial gardens and Cottage gardens in grace while forming tidy clumps and drifts of elegant color. Tulips are lovely container additions that light up other spring ephemerals or annual blossoms. Or plant them in groupings to maximize their glorious blooms.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Bulbs require full sun and well-drained soil. Appreciating afternoon shade in warmer growing zones where the sun is intense. Any soil type is suitable so long as it is not soggy. Plant in the ground with pointed ends up 3 times as deep as the bulbs are tall. Deadhead after flowers fade, but let the leaves remain so they can make food for the bulb and next year's flowers! Not only is it strong, but it also has incredible endurance. Its blooms endure through spring showers and days of sunshine. Fall-planted bulbs need well-drained soil with moderate moisture needs. Add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results.
