Tulip 'Blue Heaven'

Tulip ‘Blue Heaven’ is a truly distinctive variety, celebrated for its rare blue-tinged tones—an unusual and much sought-after feature in tulips. Its softly layered petals blend shades of lavender, mauve, and pink with a subtle bluish hue, creating a beautifully nuanced and elegant flower.

A multi-headed variety, each bulb can produce up to five blooms per stem, offering exceptional impact and extended visual interest. Flowering in the later part of the tulip season, from late April into May, ‘Blue Heaven’ is ideal for prolonging your spring display when combined with early and mid-season varieties.

Equally at home in borders and containers, it also makes an excellent cut flower, pairing effortlessly with other tulips in cool, soft, or deeper colour palettes. Refined, unusual, and abundantly floriferous, Tulip ‘Blue Heaven’ brings both charm and distinction to the spring garden.

How to plant Tulips

  • Find a location with well-drained soil. Tulips will not thrive in water-logged areas.
  • Tulips like to receive full sun for most of the day. However, some varieties can tolerate shady areas too. Check with the individual variety.
  • Plant in the Autumn; September through to November. Ideally, plant after the first frost to avoid any viral diseases infecting the bulbs. 

Planting Tulips in the Garden

  • If planting in the garden, plant the bulbs with their pointed tops 12cm below the soil surface. Allow 4 to 5 bulbs per square foot.

Planting Tulips in the Pots

  • If planting in Pots, find a large container and fill it with good-quality, multi-purpose compost. Ensure there is adequate draining holes. Again, plant 12cm below the soil surface.
  • After planting, water the Tulips well, gently soaking the soil to settle it around the bulbs.
  • Tulips will flower early to mid Spring depending on their variety.

How to plant a Bulb Lasagne

  • The technique known as bulb lasagne, popular with the Dutch, involves layering bulbs upon each other to create rich and vibrant spring pot displays. To find out how to plant a Bulb Lasagne, click here: Bulb Lasagne.

Hart's Hint
Tulips need to be planted in the Autumn, preferably in October/November, after the first frost as this will wipe out any viral and fungal diseases that may be in the soil which may infect the bulbs.

Care Instructions

How to care for Tulips

  • Deadhead the flowers during the season before the petals fall off.
  • After flowering has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulbs for the future.
  • Water as needed during active growth periods.
  • By mid summer the leaves may yellow and die back. Foliage may be removed at this point.
  • Some tulips flower well for one year and then need lifting out of the soil and carefully stored if you want to use them again. Once everything has fully died back, you can lift them and store them in a dark, dry, airy place over summer, allowing the air to circulate around them. They can then be replanted in the Autumn.
