Tulip 'Claudia'

Claudia is part of the Tulipa genus and is a Tulip variety. Its scientific name is Tulipa 'Claudia'. Claudia is a heirloom variety.

Soft purple with white edges. Lily flowering tulips bloom late spring. Pointed elegant blooms and narrow leaves make these tulips a distinguished gruop. Great for beds, borders or as cuts.

These tulips are centuries old. The shape of these tulips was greatly improved by crossing them with Darwins at the beginning of this century. The first tulip with lily-shaped flowers was the yellow Tulip retroflexa; it thus became the ancestor of the later ones. In 1902 Krelage & Son crossed this cottage tulip with the Darwin tulip, ‘Psyche’. This cross resulted in the satin pink tulip, ‘Siren’, which really caused a sensation. The flowers are elegant with their pointed petals which bow outward at the top.

Claudia Tulip is normally quite a low maintenance plant and is normally very easy to grow - great for beginner gardeners!
