Tulip Slawa

Tulip ‘Slawa’ is a real statement piece for the spring garden, known for its dramatic colour contrast and elegant form. Each bloom opens in a rich, dark purple shade, deep like red wine, before revealing a glowing edge of apricot, copper, and warm orange tones. As the flower matures and catches the light, the edges can shift subtly with hints of pink and bronze, giving every bloom a slightly different character.

This is not a tulip that fades into the background. The strong colour play between the velvety dark petals and the fiery rim creates real depth, making ‘Slawa’ especially eye-catching when planted in groups.

A member of the Triumph tulip group, ‘Slawa’ combines this striking appearance with a classic, sturdy shape. The blooms are neatly cup-shaped with clean lines and sit proudly on strong stems, making them reliable in both garden beds and containers. It also performs beautifully as a cut flower, holding its form well in a vase and bringing a bold, contemporary feel to spring arrangements.

Ideal for gardeners looking for something a little more unusual, Tulip ‘Slawa’ delivers consistency from bulb to bloom, returning a uniform display when planted en masse. It works particularly well alongside softer pastel tulips or other deep-toned varieties for contrast.

A confident, high-impact tulip that brings warmth, drama, and refinement to the spring garden.
