Tulip ‘Ballade’

Tulip ‘Ballade’ is a classic lily-flowered tulip cultivar and is widely grown for its elegant shape and dramatic colouring.

Key features:

• Colour: Deep magenta to royal purple with crisp white-edged petals
• Flower shape: Pointed, recurved petals that flare outward
• Bloom time: Late spring
• Height: About 40–50 cm
• Use: Excellent for borders, containers, and cut flowers

One of its most distinctive traits is the slender “lily” silhouette — unlike standard cup-shaped tulips, the petals taper and curve outward at the tips.
