Tulipa 'Apricot Foxx'

Apricot Foxx Greigii Tulip

Tulipa 'Apricot Foxx' is a Greigii tulip valued for its warm apricot-salmon flowers. The single, cup-shaped blossoms open wide in sunlight, revealing softly blended color transitions and a clean interior. Blooming in early to mid-spring, the flowers are carried on sturdy stems that hold up well in variable spring weather. The foliage emerges broad and blue-green, often marked with subtle purple mottling typical of Greigii tulips.

Design tip

Spring bloom is its headline moment, and it reads best in a group rather than as a single plant. Drift them in uneven groups for a natural look, and interplant with perennials that fill the gap after the leaves die back.
