Tulipa 'Finola'

Finola Double Tulip

Tulipa 'Finola' opens soft blush pink with creamy white and green-infused undertones, forming a fully double, peony-style blossom with densely layered petals. The flowers appear in late spring, gradually expanding into broad, rounded blooms that show subtle tonal variation as they mature. Green feathering and gentle marbling often remain visible toward the petal bases, adding depth as the flower reaches full size.

This cultivar is classified within the Double tulip group, known for lush, many-petaled flowers and a prolonged end-of-season display.

Design tip

The early flowers arrive when the garden is still waking up, so give it a spot you pass often in spring. Plant in generous groups rather than single spots, and set them among perennials whose new growth covers the fading foliage.
