Slawa Triumph Tulip (Tulipa ‘Slawa’) lights up the May garden with shifting burnished flames of color. Beginning with maroon petals edged in a coppery hue, as the flowers mature, the edging turns to apricot-peach and even to light gold. It’s a dramatic element for a mid-spring garden; plant plenty, with their 3" blossoms they make great cut flowers too. Sometimes know as Muvota Tulips.

Description

Slawa Triumph Tulip (Tulipa ‘Slawa’) is pure drama in the mid-spring garden. With petals of deep burgundy that feather into colors of coppery-orange, they shift hues as the edges brighten into peach and yellow. For cut flowers, harvest Slawa Triumph Tulips (sometimes called Muvota Tulips) when they are still in bud and the color is just beginning to show. In the garden, remove blooms as soon as they fade to prevent seed from forming, conserving energy in the bulb. Let foliage die back and yellow before removing. Plant them in a full sun location in enriched well-drained soil. Consider planting a full range of Tulips with blooms from early to late-spring. Not only will they light up your garden and home, but they offer important early season pollen for our honeybees. Plant with Daffodils, Frittilaria, and Allium for pest deterrence and splendor. 16-20" tall x 4-8" wide.

Planting & Care

Tips on Growing Fall Planted Flower Bulbs

When you receive your fall bulbs (tulips, daffodils, etc.) keep them in a dry, dark, cool place until ready to plant. They need air circulation so they will not collect moisture and rot. Planting times can vary from early October in the North to mid-to-late November in the southern regions. A good rule of thumb is to plant them about 6 weeks before the ground is frozen or after the first hard freeze.

Soil Preparation for Bulbs

A compost enriched, well-drained soil is best. Incorporate a good quality organic compost as needed. Yum Yum Mix® is recommended as an excellent source of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium needed for strong plants and healthy roots. Mix a small amount into the bottom of the hole before planting your bulbs.

Many bulbs prefer full sun exposure. However, Muscaria, Allium, Galanthus, Hyacinthoides, Scilla and many Daffodils will tolerate partial shade and bloom well.
Pink daffodils will hold their color longer if planted in dappled shade or morning sun/afternoon shade.

After planting, add a top dressing of compost or other organic material and water in thoroughly. If your winter is dry, water every three to four weeks throughout the winter and add more mulch if necessary.

Protect your Bulbs

Apply a mole or gopher repellent to the surface of the ground to protect bulbs from these burrowing mammals.

After your Bulbs have Bloomed

Once your bulbs have bloomed, allow the bulb foliage to brown and fade naturally since the leaves are feeding the bulb in the ground. Removal of foliage weakens the bulb and leads to fewer blooms the following year. Planting your bulbs amongst your perennials is one way to conceal the dying bulb foliage. The perennials begin to grow and fill out as the bulb foliage dies back. The perennials will then provide foliage and color in the garden from late spring through the summer and into fall. Regular fertilization with balanced organic or natural fertilizer and a re-application of mulch each fall will ensure more and more beautiful spring bulb blooms for many years!

Beautiful, all came up strong

"These tulips all came up, and are gorgeous. A dark red with beautiful orange edges (not as pale as they look in the product photo, but I love them more in person). Here in zone 6a/b, they opened at the very end of April, just about as my narcissus tete a tete finished blooming."

Very Pretty, good quality bulbs/healthy

"I purchased these (Slawa Tulips) from High Country Gardens along with some other tulips from Tulip World The slawa tulips in my photo are the healthy looking ones grouped in the bottom right The tulips I ordered from Tulip world are in the back of the photo and around 50% of the tulips did not come up at all or came up unhealthy looking and never produced flowers I would highly recommend bulbs from High Country Gardens - great quality, prompt shipment, and they were very beautiful and long lasting!"

Slawa is Striking and Unusual!

"I accidentally received these last fall and wasn't particularly excited about them since they were described here as a copper-colored tulip. Nevermind that! These are gorgeous from beginning bud to end of bloom! Ideal to plant among white or lighter colored flowers or groundcover. I'm in zone 7a and they started blooming here the 3rd week of March."
