Rich purple blooms held on upright, sword-like green foliage, ‘Purple Rain’ blooms from April to May and stands up well to squally spring showers! From the Triumph group, this tulip can be used to great effect in borders, pots and containers and in the vase as a cut flower. - Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering deadhead and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
