Tulip ‘Mara’

Description

Tulip ‘Mara’ is a captivating species tulip of the aucheriana type, admired for its low-growing habit and naturally graceful presence. Each stem of Tulip ‘Mara’ produces multiple slender, pointed flowers, creating a light, airy display that feels entirely at ease in relaxed plantings. The blooms glow in rich shades of dark red to orange-red, their intensity softened by a subtle green tint on the outer petals. As Tulip aucheriana ‘Mara’ begins to open, this interplay of colour adds depth and quiet intrigue, offering beauty at every stage of flowering.

As a low-growing botanical tulip, Tulip ‘Mara’ is particularly well suited to rockeries, gravel gardens and containers, where its fine detail can be appreciated up close. Tulip ‘Mara’ thrives in well-drained soil and, once established, is ideal for naturalising, returning reliably and often increasing over time. When the sun coaxes the flowers fully open, their warm tones become more luminous, drawing in early pollinators and lifting the surrounding planting. Tulip aucheriana ‘Mara’ brings a refined, natural elegance to the spring garden, weaving rich colour into even the smallest spaces.
