Features

notes

A wonderful Triumph tulip variety, Tulip Gavota bridges the gap between early and late flowering tulips with its gorgeous colour combination. The chalice-shaped flowers have striking mahogany-red petals which are complimented by a cream and lemon coloured edge, creating a luscious aesthetic.

Insights

This unusual tulip mixes well with bold red varieties and other rich colours. It is also resistant to adverse weather, providing a long-lasting garden display. An excellent cut flower for a bouquet, especially as the dramatic colour pattern is different in each tulip.

Tulip Gavota is a recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
