Tulip ‘Jacuzzi’

Description

Tulip ‘Jacuzzi’ brings a cool, gently luminous beauty to the spring garden, as though someone has stirred lilac paint into moonlight. Its cup-shaped flowers open in soft pale purple, with silvery white touches brushed across the outer petals, giving each bloom a refined, almost pearlescent finish. Reaching up to around 50cm in flower, Tulip ‘Jacuzzi’ has just the right height for weaving through borders, lifting patio pots, or adding a quietly glamorous note to a cut flower arrangement. The broadly lance-shaped grey-green leaves provide an elegant foil, keeping the overall effect fresh, poised and never too sweet.

Plant Tulip ‘Jacuzzi’ where its subtle colouring can be properly admired, perhaps among creamy narcissi, dusky violas, silver foliage or deep plum tulips for a little garden theatre. It is a perennial bulb with a graceful habit, returning best in well-drained soil and a sunny spot, where the bulbs can rest undisturbed after flowering. In containers, Tulip ‘Jacuzzi’ looks beautifully composed, particularly in stone, terracotta or zinc, where its cool tones feel effortlessly chic. For gardeners who favour elegance over extravagance, Tulip ‘Jacuzzi’ is a splendid choice, sophisticated, serene and just a little bit indulgent.
