Tulipa Barcelona

Triumph tulip Barcelona is interesting for its very on-trend colour. This majestic tulip with a narrow corolla has dark salmon pink petals on top of thick and sturdy stems measuring 50 cm (20in) high above widely lanceolate green and deciduous leaves. It blooms in the middle of the tulip season, in April, at the heart of spring.

Triumph tulip Barcelona belongs to the Lily family. Originally from horticulture, it is currently classified in the group of 'Triumph' tulips, whose main characteristic is narrow cup-shaped flowers. They are the result of cross-breeding between early single tulips and Darwin tulips. Triumph tulips are famous for their range of colours and strong and resistant flowers, suitable for flower beds and bouquets. They are among the most widely planted varieties.

Tulips are unmatched for bringing the colours of spring to pots or sunny gardens. Remember to consider the height and flowering period when designing your flower beds, as these can vary significantly from one cultivar to another. It is a good idea to plant a few more bulbs for beautiful cut flowers that last a long time in a vase.

Tulip species are found in most of the Old World, from Western Europe to China and Japan, passing through Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, and Central Asia. Their distribution range also includes North Africa and the Indian subcontinent. The centre of diversity for the genus is the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains and the steppes of Kazakhstan.

There are various wild species, many of which are endangered. These include large tulips that grow in cultivated fields, the most well-known being the Agen tulip (Tulipa agenensis), as well as small tulips found in wooded areas or among rocks in the mountains. In cultivation, these are called "botanical tulips," and one of the most common is the wild tulip (Tulipa sylvestris), which often used to grow in the shelter of grapevines and whose subspecies australis is known as the southern tulip.
