Tulip ‘Aphrodite’

With silken red petals, kissed with flames of hot pink, Tulip ‘Aphrodite’ is every bit as bewitching as the goddess of love from which she takes her name. As the blooms mature, those demure, satiny buds unfurl to reveal a heart of pure gold within. Each slender, grey-green leaf is outlined with a creamy-white margin, providing an elegant and understated backdrop to those luscious hues—and with a coveted Award of Garden Merit under her belt, what’s not to love?

Perfect for containers and borders alike, Tulip ‘Aphrodite’s strong and sturdy stems will withstand wind and rain—and last well in the vase too, so you’ll want to plant a few extra bulbs for cutting, to brighten up your home in early spring. For a genuinely gorgeous planting combination, we think this lovely variety would harmonise perfectly with the delicate, peachy tones of Tulip ‘Apricot Beauty’.
