Tulipa 'Pink Impression'

Pink Impression Darwin Hybrid Tulip

Tulipa 'Pink Impression' features large, oval-shaped blossoms in mid-pink tones that deepen as they age. The flowers are single in form, with smooth, broad petals that open gradually to create a substantial, well-balanced bloom. Flowering occurs in mid spring, when the blossoms hold their shape reliably and maintain consistent color.

This cultivar belongs to the Darwin Hybrid tulip group, developed through Dutch breeding programs focused on strong stems, uniform flowering, and long-lasting spring color. 'Pink Impression' has become widely grown for its dependable performance and classic floral presentation in garden and landscape settings.

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.
