Product Description
Tulip ‘Bellville’ glows with warm apricot‑orange blooms that brighten borders and containers. Strong stems rise above fresh, lance-shaped foliage, creating a vibrant spring focal point, while its subtle fruity fragrance adds extra charm. Grouped in drifts or pots, the colour and form bring rhythm and cohesion to any display.
Reaching around 50-60 cm with a neat, upright habit, this Triumph Tulip flowers in mid to late spring. It thrives in full sun for the richest colour, though light shade is tolerated, and well-drained, fertile soil in a sheltered spot helps maintain bloom quality and stem strength.
In the border or patio pot, Tulip ‘Bellville’ works harmoniously with Narcissus, Alliums and Salvias, where contrasting heights and complementary tones enrich mixed schemes and extend seasonal interest. Its sturdy stems also make it an excellent choice for cutting, bringing apricot warmth indoors. Whether planted en masse or mixed with perennials, this Tulip brings dependable colour and charm to spring gardens.

Growing at a glance…
Tulip bulbs should be planted in autumn, before any frost. Find an area of soil that is well-drained and moist and plant your bulbs at twice their depth and spaced apart by 10-15cm. Ensure they are properly covered, you should not be able to see them on the surface of the soil. Position in an area that you know receives plenty of sunlight but is also sheltered from harsh winds. Deadhead the flowers once they wilt, encouraging a healthier plant.
