Tulip Lipstick

Tulip ‘Lipstick’ is exactly what it sounds like—vibrant, bold, and full of personality. Its classic tulip shape is painted in glowing cherry-pink, with just a touch of warm undertone near the base. The colour is striking but still elegant, making it ideal for brightening borders, beds, and containers when everything’s just waking up for spring.

This is a Triumph tulip, a much-loved group known for sturdy stems and reliable flowering. It blooms in mid-spring, typically April, reaching around 40–45 cm tall—tall enough to stand out, but compact enough for pots and smaller garden spaces.

Lipstick pairs beautifully with purples, whites, or soft pastels, but is also strong enough to stand on its own in a block of colour. It's a great tulip for cut flowers too, with blooms that hold well in a vase.

Plant in autumn, in a sunny or lightly shaded spot with free-draining soil. Treat it as an annual for best results, though in sheltered gardens you might enjoy a repeat appearance.

Whether you’re going for classic, colourful, or something fun, Tulip ‘Lipstick’ adds a pop of personality to any spring display.
