Van Engelen Triumph Tulip Mixture

Triumph tulips are a hybrid class known for their sturdy, upright stems and classic, cup-shaped flowers. They are prized for their ability to withstand spring winds and rain better than many other varieties, making them a reliable choice for garden beds.

Yes, these tulips perform beautifully in containers. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes and is deep enough to accommodate the 7-inch planting depth, plus a few inches of soil below the bulb for root development.

To force these bulbs, plant them in pots with well-draining soil and place them in a cool, dark location—like an unheated garage or basement—for about 12 to 14 weeks to mimic winter dormancy. Once roots are established and shoots appear, move them to a sunny, warmer spot to trigger blooming.

These bulbs are hardy in USDA zones 3 through 7. If you live in a warmer climate (zone 8 or higher), you will likely need to pre-chill the bulbs in a refrigerator for several weeks before planting to simulate the winter cold they require to bloom.

While the mixture is curated to include rose-orange, pink, red, salmon, and yellow, the distribution of colors in any single pack is random. You may find some colors are more dominant than others in your specific batch.

For the best results, plant the bulbs 7 inches deep and space them about 6 inches apart. This spacing allows enough room for the foliage to develop fully without overcrowding.
