Tulipa Grand Perfection Tulip
Best choice for gardeners seeking elegant, easy-to-grow spring floral displays.
The Grand Perfection Tulip offers striking beauty with its flamed flowers, featuring a classic cup shape and painterly red brushstrokes on a buttery yellow background that matures to white. These Rembrandt tulips grow on tall, sturdy stems, reaching about 14 to 16 inches, with attractive glaucous-green leaves. They are ideal for bouquets, floral arrangements, beds, borders, containers, and can even be forced for indoor blooms. While typically grown as an annual, they may naturalize in ideal conditions. Easy to grow, they thrive in full sun but appreciate light shade in warmer climates.

Know before you buy
Yes, the Grand Perfection is well-suited for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 4 to 8-inch planting depth required for the bulbs.
While these are technically perennials, they are often grown as annuals for the best display. They may naturalize and return in ideal conditions, but you should expect the most vibrant performance in the first spring after planting.
These tulips thrive in full sun, which helps ensure strong, sturdy stems. If you live in a warmer climate, they will appreciate some light afternoon shade to protect the blooms.
These should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows the bulbs to establish their root systems during the cooler months before they bloom in the spring.
Yes, these bulbs are suitable for forcing. By chilling them appropriately, you can encourage them to bloom indoors during the late winter or early spring.
For best results, plant the bulbs 4 to 8 inches deep in well-drained soil. A good rule of thumb is to plant them at a depth roughly three times the height of the bulb.
