About Pink Tulips With White Edges

Fringed

• Fringed tulips are cultivars with very thin, short “hairs” that develop along the outer edge of the petals. In some cases, the fringe will be in a different color. The “Blue Heron” tulip is a raspberry-colored tulip that has a white-fringed edge. The anthers inside the tulip are black, making this a dramatically colored tulip. These tulips grow best in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 8 and blossom in late spring or early summer. They often reach a height between 16 to 22 inches.

Darwin

• Produced from crossing Darwin and T. Fosteriana tulips, Darwin hybrids reach 24 to 28 inches in height, with large flowers. The blossoms will reach 6 inches in diameter once they are fully opened. “Ollioules,” a Darwin hybrid variety, have loosely packed petals that are a medium shaded rose color with white edges. Growing best in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 8, “Olioules” blossoms during the late spring and early summer.

Lily

• Lily-petaled tulips have petals that curve outward at the tips. With their slender shape and height, growing between 20 to 26 inches, lily-petaled tulips include the “Yonina” and the “Ballade.” These tulips will blossom late in the season, and grow best in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 8. The “Yonina” has red-pink petals with a white border. There is a pale pink line running up the center of each petal, making this tulip a visually startling addition to a garden bed. “Ballade” has bright, dark pink petals with white edges.

Single

• The best-known tulip shape, single tulips do not have fringes or points, and are beloved for this simple, clean-cut appearance. Reaching 24 inches in height, the “Jumbo Beauty” blossoms during the late spring and early summer. The "Jumbo Beauty" does best in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 9. The petals are a bright, deep pink color with a clearly delineated white outer edge.
