Tulipa Purple Crystal - Fringed Tulip

The 'Purple Crystal' fringed Tulip is a variety with particularly fringed petals. It offers an intense and velvety flower, in a wine colour, with a discreet contrasting white base. Its very durable, large flowers of 12 to 15 cm with fringed petals are remarkable in flower beds in April and May. Its long-lasting flowers, carried by a sturdy stem, are perfect for vases.

The 'Purple Crystal' Fringed Tulip belongs to the lily family. Of horticultural origin, it is classified in the 'Crispa' group, whose main characteristic is to have petals with finely toothed ends. This tulip will reach a height of about 40 cm when in bloom. Flowering takes place in April-May, a little later than other tulips. The flowers are single, with a slightly open cup, in a beautiful range of rich and dark tones, enhanced by the velvety texture of the petals. The fringed edges of this magnificent tulip add to its mysterious charm. The flowers last a long time and allow the tulip season to be extended until May.
