Tulip Alison Bradley

Tulip Alison Bradley is a luxurious Double Early tulip with richly layered, peony-like blooms that add depth and elegance to any spring planting. The flowers open in deep plum and blackberry tones, subtly enhanced by red undertones that become more pronounced towards the outer petals. As the blooms mature, their full, layered form creates a generous yet refined display, with colours that shift from cool violet in the morning to warmer plum hues in the afternoon sun, giving the variety a lively, changing character throughout the day.

Growing on sturdy stems of around 30–50 cm, Tulip Alison Bradley is perfect for borders, containers, and cutting gardens. Its compact habit and strong stems ensure the double flowers remain upright in typical spring weather, while their long-lasting blooms make them excellent for floral arrangements. In mixed plantings, the deep plum tones provide a striking contrast to pale pinks, blush doubles, and pure whites, creating a lush, painterly effect that draws the eye from a distance.

For gardeners seeking a bold early-season tulip with real elegance, Tulip Alison Bradley offers a memorable colour palette, reliable performance, and versatility across a wide range of temperate climates.
