Triumph Tulip 'Prinses Irene'

This is fine if you want an annual, but it's not a good naturalizer or perennial, at least in my climate (Boston Z6a). Lasts only 2-3 yea...Read Morers in the garden, if you keep summer irrigation to a minimum, growing smaller every year. (Tulips require a dry summer rest, and here we get too much summer rainfall for most tulips to perennialize. Most irrigated gardens here are too moist for tulips to survive even one summer.)

All tulips are prime fodder for deer and other critters.

Introduced in 1949.

Short stature makes it a fine forecable tulip for winter enjoyment.
