    • Why we like this plant

      Tulip 'Purple Crystal' is a beautifully sculptural variety that lends a more delicate, architectural quality to spring displays. The pointed petals curl slightly outward, creating an open, airy bloom that dances in the breeze. Its cool-toned colouring pairs especially well with whites, dusky mauves, and soft greens, offering contrast without heaviness. Ideal for gardeners seeking a tulip that is both graceful and quietly distinctive, it works well dotted through herbaceous borders or gathered for a striking vase arrangement.

    Planting guide

    Plant in autumn, 15 cm deep and 10 cm apart, in well-drained soil and a sunny or lightly shaded position.

    Care tips

    Remove fading flowers to encourage bulb strength, and let foliage die back undisturbed. In wetter soils, lift bulbs after the leaves have fully withered and store them in a dry, well-ventilated place until autumn.
