Blushing Beauty Single Late Tulip

Tulipa 'Blushing Beauty' is a Single Late tulip with large, cup-shaped flowers that open in late spring, typically in May.

Design tip

Spring bloom is its headline moment, and it reads best in a group rather than as a single plant. Plant in generous groups rather than single spots, and set them among perennials whose new growth covers the fading foliage.
