Tulipa 'Rem's Favorite'

Rem's Favorite Triumph Tulip

Tulipa 'Rem's Favorite' bears creamy white blossoms patterned with bold, feathered purple-violet flames that rise from the base of each petal. The flowers open in mid-spring with a classic cup shape typical of the Triumph group, maintaining clean outlines as they expand. The high contrast between the pale background and dark markings remains consistent through the bloom period, giving each flower a clear, graphic appearance.

Design tip

The early flowers arrive when the garden is still waking up, so give it a spot you pass often in spring. Drift them in uneven groups for a natural look, and interplant with perennials that fill the gap after the leaves die back.
