Tulip ‘Palmyra’ is a bold and dramatic double late tulip, prized for its rich colouring and luxurious, peony-like blooms. Its large, fully double flowers are packed with velvety petals in deep maroon to near-black tones, creating a striking and sophisticated presence in the spring garden.

Flowering in late spring, ‘Palmyra’ grows to a height of around 40–45 cm, with sturdy stems that hold up well in typical spring weather. The dense, layered blooms add depth and texture to borders, containers, and floral arrangements, making it an excellent choice for both garden impact and cut flower displays.

Best planted in autumn in well-drained soil, Tulip ‘Palmyra’ thrives in full sun or partial shade. It pairs beautifully with lighter tulips or soft pastels, allowing its dark, dramatic tones to truly stand out.

• 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.
