🌷 Warm pink cup-shaped flowers • 🌿 Sturdy 40–50 cm stems • 🌤️ Flowers in April • 💐 Beautiful in bouquets • ☀️ Full sun • ❄️ Fully hardy • 📏 Bulb size 11/12
The pink Triumph tulip bears large cup-shaped flowers in a warm, luminous pink in April, 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.
This true pink, neither pale nor garish, softens a border while still standing out from afar. Among our flower bulbs, it is the tulip for romantic edgings, patio pots and spring bouquets to give.
Which tulip should you choose?
- Pink Triumph tulip (this plant) — warm pink, 40–50 cm, in April. For a soft yet luminous single-color border.
- Red Triumph tulip — bright red, 40–50 cm, in April. For a vibrant border, or a pink-to-red gradient at the same height.
- White Triumph tulip — pure white, 40–50 cm, in April. For a fresh, bright pink-and-white duo.
- 'Little Beauty' tulip — small pink botanical tulip with a blue heart, about ten centimeters tall. For rock gardens, low edgings and small pots.
Pink goes with almost every spring color: it is the easiest tulip to match with the flowers already in your garden.
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 touch of pink in a border.
- 30 bulbs: about 0.75 m², or two to three large pots.
- 60 bulbs: about 1.5 m², for a pink edging along a path.
- 120 bulbs: about 3 m², for a large pink border 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 them in broad drifts rather than in a line: a sweep of pink can be seen from afar, while a sparse row goes unnoticed.
Watering & care
In the ground, rain is enough. In pots, too much water is the main danger: a bulb sitting in water rots, just like an overwatered plant.
- 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
Warm pink stands out particularly well in full sun, on a south-facing patio or balcony, like those in our guide to plants for full-sun balconies.
- For a blue-and-white carpet beneath the pink, underplant with Muscari Magic Mix — its small blue and white spikes flower just before the tulips and form a backdrop that makes the pink stand out in April.
- For a flowering woodland carpet beneath the tulips, pair it with the Greek anemone mix — its blue, pink and white daisy-like flowers, 10 cm off the ground, echo the color of the tulips on a smaller scale.
- For a contrasting patio pot, plant 10 to 12 bulbs in a Capi Nature Skin anthracite pot Ø24 cm — the dark gray of the pot makes the pink flowers glow, and it can stay outdoors all winter.
In a vase, mix a few pink stems with white tulips: the bouquet looks lighter than a single-color one.
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.
- Give them in bud: pick tulips in the morning, when the bud is colored but still closed. They last a week in a vase, and pink, the color of tenderness, makes them one of the easiest choices among flowers 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.

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?
