Double Tulip 'Miranda'

Overview

Double Tulip 'Miranda': The Grand Crimson Finale of the Spring Season

Transform your garden into a theatre of colour with Double Tulip 'Miranda', a variety so lush and voluminous it is frequently mistaken for a giant garden rose or peony. This "Double Late" variety is renowned for its extraordinary size and its intense, fire-engine red petals that feature a subtle, satiny sheen. Each bloom is packed with layers upon layers of petals, creating a heavy, opulent flower head that makes a bold architectural statement. Supported by remarkably thick and sturdy stems, 'Miranda' is designed to withstand the spring breeze while holding its massive blooms high. It is the perfect choice for gardeners seeking a high-impact, luxurious look to round off the tulip season in style.

Key Features

• Massive Double Blooms: One of the fullest tulips available, with an immense petal count that creates a spherical, rose-like shape.

• Vibrant Cardinal Red: A deep, saturated red that remains colour-fast and brilliant even in bright afternoon sunshine.

• Exceptional Stem Strength: Engineered by nature to support its heavy blooms, ensuring the flowers stand tall and proud in the border.

• Long-Lasting Performance: As a late-season bloomer, 'Miranda' offers incredible longevity both in the garden and as a premium cut flower.

Gardener's Tip

Because 'Miranda' is so bold and significantly larger than many other tulips, it creates the most impact when planted in dense, dedicated groups rather than scattered thinly. For a stunning contemporary look, plant them in odd-numbered clumps (7, 9, or 11 bulbs) in a low bowl planter or large terracotta pot. Surround them with silver foliage plants like Stachys (Lamb's Ear) or silver Cineraria to make the vibrant red blooms truly pop against the muted background.
