🤍 Pure white cup-shaped flowers • 🌿 Sturdy 40–50 cm stems • 🌤️ Flowers in April • 💐 Beautiful in bouquets • 🖤 The perfect partner for the black tulip • ☀️ Full sun • ❄️ Fully hardy • 📏 Bulb size 11/12
The white Triumph tulip is the tulip for bright, luminous borders: in April, its pure white, cup-shaped flowers with a faintly creamy heart open on straight 40–50 cm stems that stand up well to the wind. It is a horticultural selection from Europe (the Netherlands), from the Triumph group of tulips, known for their strong stems and long vase life.
Planted on its own, it creates an elegant, calming white garden; mixed with bright or dark colors, it makes them stand out. Among our flower bulbs, it is the tulip for stylish displays, contemporary gardens and wedding bouquets.
Which tulip should you choose?
- White Triumph tulip (this plant) — pure white, 40–50 cm, in April. For a bright garden and elegant combinations.
- Black Triumph tulip — almost-black purple, 40–50 cm, in April. For a striking, contemporary look.
- Mixed Darwin tulips — red, yellow, pink and orange, 50–60 cm, in April and May. For a colorful, cheerful border.
- Tulipa praestans — botanical, 20–30 cm, 3 to 5 flowers per bulb in March and April. For pots, rockeries and a garden that flowers again on its own.
- Mixed double tulips — full, peony-like flowers, 40–50 cm, in April and May. For a romantic border and generous bouquets.
Planted together, the white and the black flower at the same time and at the same height: the contrast is stunning in borders and pots alike.
How many bulbs do you need?
Tulips look best planted in tight groups: allow about 40 bulbs per square meter, or 10 to 12 bulbs in a pot 25 to 30 cm across.
- 15 bulbs: one large pot on a patio, or a small group in a border.
- 30 bulbs: about 0.75 m², or two to three large pots.
- 60 bulbs: about 1.5 m², for a white edging along a path.
- 120 bulbs: about 3 m², for a true white garden or tulips to cut all through April.
The bigger the pack, the lower the price per bulb: the 120-bulb pack works out at less than half the price per bulb of the 15-bulb pack.
Planting & position
Plant tulips from October to December, once the soil has cooled, for flowers in April.
- Position: full sun; in partial shade the stems stretch and lean towards the light.
- 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: down to -25 °C in the ground, no protection needed.
Plant it in front of dark foliage (a hedge or an evergreen shrub): the white flowers then glow like a light, even at dusk.
Watering & care
In the ground, rain is enough. In pots, check the moisture with the finger test before each watering.
- Watering: low — at planting, then in pots when the potting mix is dry on the surface, especially while the buds are forming.
- Feeding: not needed in the ground; in pots, a bulb fertilizer as the leaves appear.
- 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.
Bulbs tire faster in pots: plant them out in the garden after flowering and put fresh bulbs in the pot in autumn.
Styling ideas & plant pairings
Pure white goes with every spring color and brightens borders and sunny balconies alike, as shown in our guide to plants for a sunny balcony.
- For a black-and-white contrast, mix it with the black Triumph tulip — same height, same flowering time, for a very graphic border or pot.
- For a blue and white carpet, plant Armenian grape hyacinths at its feet — their vivid blue spikes set off the whiteness of the tulips.
- To keep the show going until June, pair it with Allium 'Purple Sensation' — its purple globes take over in May, as the tulips fade.
- For a patio version, plant 10 to 12 bulbs in the Elho Greenville Round pot in leaf green in the Ø25 cm size — the green makes the white flowers stand out, and the drainage hole prevents standing water.
In a pot, mix half white and half black tulips, planted in a staggered pattern: the pot bursts into flower all at once like a chessboard.
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 tulips in the morning, when the bud is white but still closed. They last a week and make a refined bouquet, as shown by our ideas for plants to give as gifts.
- 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.

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 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?
