Tulip 'Charmeur' (Triumph): Rosy Blooms with Yellow-Edged Foliage

Overview

Tulipa 'Charmeur' is a Triumph tulip with striking foliage—leaves have curled yellow edges—and 18-inch stems bearing white-rimmed, dark rosy-pink blooms in mid-spring. The bold color combination makes a statement in containers and borders. Triumph tulips are large-flowered, midseason hybrids known for strong stems and reliable performance.

Growing Conditions

Full sun to part shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Plant bulbs 6-8 inches deep in fall. In zones warmer than 8, provide 8-10 weeks of cold treatment (40-45°F). Use containers or raised beds if drainage is poor.

Care and Maintenance

Allow foliage to yellow naturally post-bloom. Lift bulbs in summer, remove offsets, and replant in fall with low-nitrogen fertilizer. Protect from rodents and excessive wet.

Common Problems

Bulb and root rot, gray mold, slugs, snails, aphids, nematodes, voles. Good drainage and air circulation are key.
