May Flowering Tulip White Proud
T1741
Description
Tulip ‘White Proud’ produces tall, elegant pure white flowers with a timeless cup-shaped form, bringing freshness and sophistication to late spring displays. The refined blooms of May Flowering Tulip ‘White Proud’ are carried on strong upright stems, creating excellent structure and graceful height in borders, containers, and formal planting schemes.
Flowering through May, this classic variety pairs beautifully with both pastel and vibrant tulips, adding light, balance, and a clean architectural presence to the spring garden.
Care Guide
October to November are the optimum months for planting Tulip bulbs. The cooler late-autumn temperatures help to keep disease at bay, whilst still allowing time for your bulbs to put roots down before spring.
Any well-drained, fertile soil is perfect for Tulips, ideally in full sun or part shade. Plant the bulbs 10-20 cm deep, spaced 10-20 cm apart. A piece of chicken wire or mesh can be placed on top of the soil or pots after planting if squirrels or rodents are a problem in your area.
After flowering in March to May, remove withered stems, foliage and any fallen petals to promote good plant health and apply a top dressing of high-potash fertiliser in late winter.
