🌷 Triumph tulip mix • 💗 Shades of pink and purple • 🌿 Sturdy 40 to 50 cm stems • 🌤️ Flowers from April to May • 💐 Superb in bouquets • ☀️ Full sun • ❄️ Very hardy • 📏 Bulbs size 11/12
The 'Macaron' tulip mix combines two Triumph tulip varieties with single cup-shaped flowers, in shades of pink and purple. From April to May, they open together on sturdy 40 to 50 cm stems. It is a European horticultural selection, from the Triumph group of tulips.
Pink and purple form a soft blend of shades, as lovely in a bed as in a large pot or a bouquet. Among our flower bulbs, it is a ready-made mix, for a harmonious bed without having to match the bulbs.
Which tulip should you choose?
- 'Macaron' tulip mix (this plant) — cup-shaped flowers in shades of pink and purple, 40 to 50 cm, April to May. For a ready-made bed in shades of pink and purple.
- Pink Triumph tulip — warm pink, 40–50 cm, in April. For a single-colour pink bed.
- Purple Triumph tulip — deep purple, 40–50 cm, in April. For a darker bed, or to strengthen the purple of the mix.
- 'Candy Purple Prince' tulip — purple and lilac-mauve cup-shaped flowers, 30 to 40 cm, from late March to late April. For earlier flowering, in a pot or a window box.
We also offer other mixes, double tulips and lily-flowered tulips: they are all presented in our tulip bulb collection.
Plant a few 'Candy Purple Prince' alongside: they flower from late March, and the 'Macaron' mix takes over in April and May in the same shades.
How many bulbs should you choose?
Tulips make the most impact planted in tight groups: allow about 40 bulbs per square metre, or 10 to 12 bulbs in a 30 cm diameter pot.
- 12 bulbs: one large pot on a balcony or terrace, or a group of about 0.3 m² in a bed.
- 24 bulbs: about 0.6 m², or two large pots.
- 48 bulbs: about 1.2 m², for a flowering edge along a path.
- 96 bulbs: about 2.4 m², for a real spring bed or a cutting patch of tulips.
The bigger the pack, the lower the price per bulb: the 96-bulb pack works out at less than half the price per bulb of the 12-bulb pack.
Planting & location
Tulips are planted from October to December, once the soil has cooled, for flowers from April to May.
- Position: full sun; in sunshine, the flowers open wide.
- Depth: 15 cm, pointed end up.
- Spacing: 10 cm between bulbs in the ground, 3 to 5 cm in pots.
- Soil: well drained; add sand to heavy soil, as the bulb rots in waterlogged ground.
- Hardiness: fully hardy, they overwinter in the ground without protection.
Plant the bulbs at random rather than by colour: the pink and purple intermingle and the bed looks more natural.
Watering & care
In the ground, rain is enough. In pots, check the moisture with the finger test and water only when the compost is dry 2 cm down.
- Watering: low — at planting, then in pots when the compost is dry on the surface, especially while the buds are forming.
- Fertilizer: unnecessary in the ground; in pots, use a bulb fertilizer as the leaves emerge.
- Faded flowers: cut the flower off just below the head as soon as it drops its petals, leaving the stem and leaves.
- After flowering: let the foliage turn yellow where it is for six weeks; it rebuilds the bulb’s reserves.
In a pot, give it a quarter turn every week in spring: the stems stay straight instead of leaning towards the light.
Decorating ideas & plant pairings
Their shades of pink and purple go well with the spring flowers of a sunny balcony, such as plants for a sunny balcony.
- For a blue carpet at their feet, plant Armenian grape hyacinth — its bright blue 15 to 20 cm spikes flower in March-April and make the pink and purple of the tulips stand out.
- To add fragrance, combine them with 'Pastel Mix' hyacinth — its scented pink, purple and white spikes flower in March-April, in the same shades.
- To extend the show into June, plant Allium 'Purple Sensation' behind them — its purple balls open in May-June and pick up the purple of the mix.
- For a patio version, plant 10 to 12 bulbs in the white Elho Greenville Round pot, Ø30 cm — the white of the pot sets off the pink and purple of the flowers, and the drainage holes prevent standing water.
In a vase, combine the two colours of the mix: a few stems are enough for a bouquet in shades of pink and purple.
Verdeia tips
- Wait for the soil to cool: ideally plant from late October. In soil that is still warm, tulip bulbs are more prone to disease.
- Cut them in bud for the vase: pick them in the morning, when the bud is coloured but still closed; they then last a week in a vase.
- Add a few bulbs every autumn: tulips flower again, but the blooms get smaller over the years. A few fresh bulbs each year keep a border well filled.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
