Tulip 'Ajaccio'

Tulip 'Ajaccio' is a tulip with attitude—richly coloured, lavishly petalled, and topped off with a touch of fringe for extra flair. This fully double variety boasts sumptuous maroon blooms that sit somewhere between velvet and wine, with each petal finely fringed along the edges for added drama. The effect is both bold and refined, making Tulip 'Ajaccio' a natural choice for gardeners who enjoy a bit of theatre in their spring display. The flower’s peony-like fullness gives it real presence, whether it’s lighting up a border or starring in a container on the patio.

Flowering in mid to late spring, Tulip 'Ajaccio' stands tall on sturdy stems that hold up well against the usual gusty weather. It’s a strong performer in sunny, well-drained spots and is particularly striking when planted en masse or paired with softer-toned tulips to let that deep maroon really shine. Tulip 'Ajaccio' also makes an excellent cut flower, bringing a luxurious touch indoors just as the garden hits its stride. Whether you're a fan of the frilly, the dramatic, or simply something a bit out of the ordinary, Tulip 'Ajaccio' delivers in spades. For richness, structure, and a little edge, Tulip 'Ajaccio' more than earns its place on the spring stage.
