Bulbs

Tulipa 'Spryng Break'

Spryng Break Triumph Tulip

Tulipa 'Spryng Break' produces classic Triumph-form, rounded goblet flowers on sturdy stems. Buds open creamy white, painted with bold cherry-to-fuchsia red flames, and a yellow-toned interior glows as the bloom widens. As flowers age, the background warms toward buttery cream while the red coloration spreads, creating a constantly shifting pattern. The flowers often close again toward evening.

Blooming midseason in spring, it is valued for holding its shape in wind and rain and for dependable performance in beds, borders, and cutting.

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.
