Why We Love It

With its unusual lily-flowered shape and warm, sunset tones, Tulipa ‘Marianne’ adds a touch of drama and elegance to late-spring displays. The petals taper into graceful points, creating a delicate silhouette that contrasts beautifully with its bold colouring.

This tulip looks especially effective planted in generous groups or paired with purple or deep red tulips for contrast. It also makes an excellent cut flower, long-lasting in a vase and perfect for adding a splash of colour indoors.
