Princess Irene Triumph Tulip Bulbs (Pack of 7)

Plant and Enjoy These Little Flames of Color

Tulipa gesneriana ‘Princess Irene’

The Princess Irene Triumph Tulip brings regal charm and vivid color to early and mid-spring gardens. This beloved heirloom tulip is instantly recognizable for its glowing orange petals touched with purple flames—a combination that gives off a warm, sunset-like glow in spring landscapes. With a compact height of just 14 inches, it fits beautifully into borders, container plantings, and cutting gardens. Its slightly sweet fragrance, uncommon among tulips, makes it a favorite for both visual and sensory appeal.

Princess Irene Triumph Tulips offer a compact yet bold presence in the garden. Their sturdy stems and early bloom period make them ideal for layering with later-blooming tulips or pairing with low-growing spring perennials. These blooms are just as delightful in the vase as they are in the landscape.

Key Characteristics and Benefits of Princess Irene Tulips

  • Exceptional Coloration: Flame-patterned petals in orange and purple create vibrant garden contrast.
  • Fragrant Blooms: Light scent adds another dimension to their spring appeal.
  • Compact Form: Perfect for small-space plantings, patio containers, or front-of-border use.
  • Early Season Interest: Brightens the garden just as winter fades away.
  • Ideal for Bouquets: Long-lasting and upright in cut flower arrangements.

Growing Princess Irene Tulip Bulbs

Plant Princess Irene bulbs in the fall, about 5 inches deep and 1–2 inches apart, at least 6–8 weeks before the ground freezes. They will bloom in early spring with strong, upright stems and vibrant color.

Climate and Soil Requirements

These tulips thrive in USDA zones 3–7, preferring full sun and well-drained soil to prevent rot.

Sunlight and Watering

Provide full sun and water deeply after planting, keeping the soil moderately moist in spring.

Care and Maintenance

Deadhead spent blooms and let foliage die back naturally to feed the bulbs; mulch in fall for extra protection.

Guarantee

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.

come up!

The bulbs sent to me were very healthy and a good size. I’m excited to see these orange tulips come up under my smoke tree. The colors should be beautiful together. I bought 2 pkgs and they were sent quickly, the price was affordable and the bulbs look ready to start growing!
