Slawa Triumph Tulip might be the most unique tulip available with a vibrant color palette shifting through burgundy and copper tones for a dynamic mid- to late-spring display. Opening a rich maroon-red with deep plum feathering, the petal margins quickly take on a contrasting copper hue. Blooms mature to vivid shades of red, orange, apricot, and yellow. (Tulipa ‘Slawa’).

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones

To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Plant Information

18-20” tall x 3-6” wide. The stylish blooms of Slawa Triumph Tulip (Tulipa ‘Slawa’) are long and slender, narrowing to a pointed tip. Add a stunning color scheme to this shapely blossom and you have one incredible display. ‘Slawa’ looks amazing planted in large sweeps that allow their distinctive hues and graceful form to shine. Also excellent in containers and cut-flower arrangements. Triumph tulips are known for their strong stems and ease of forcing. ‘Slawa’ is easy to grow in full sun and well-drained soils. Water regularly during the growing season if rain is sparse. Plants thrive when summer soils are on the dry side as tulips bulbs can rot under wet conditions. Allow tulip foliage to mature and die back naturally, which feeds the next season’s blooms.

Planting & Care

What is a "Quality Bulb," and Why Does Bulb Quality Matter?

Flower bulbs come in a wide variety of sizes. It is important to get the largest, best quality bulbs you can find. Larger bulbs help to ensure success, producing larger and stronger plants with more flowers.

Several flower bulbs are part of the onion family, and because of this I like to use Onions as a representation of how important bulb size is. Which of the onions on your shelf go bad first? The smallest ones! Larger onions are more resilient, taking longer to dry out/rot and can withstand swings in temperature better. Flower bulbs are the same. Larger bulbs will withstand disease, draught, large amounts of moisture, and colder temperatures significantly better than the smaller ones.

Here at American Meadows we are committed to providing you with the highest quality bulbs. This means we do everything we can to source the largest bulbs possible. Below is a comparison of bulbs purchased from three different retail stores:

Each of the glass tubes contains 20 Dutch Master Daffodils. Starting from the left, the first tube is what is sold here at American Meadows, the middle tube was purchased at a local “Home Supply” box store, and the third is another online retailer. The difference is easily noticeable.

The next picture is the same comparison, but with Tulip Bulbs:

Again, our bulbs are quite a bit larger than other retailers.

Other things to be aware of when it comes to bulb quality is making sure they are firm and without signs of external damage or cracking. Do your best to avoid bulbs that are already growing and have shoots or freshly grown roots. This is difficult when purchasing online, but if you are ordering through a reputable company, they should be checking for these things regularly.

Next time you are looking to buy bulbs, think about how much time you put into planning and planting your garden and then anxiously waiting for your flowers to grow and bloom. Don’t be disappointed after all that effort by planting sub-par bulbs. Buy the largest, firmest, disease free bulbs you can afford, and you will have the best possible results.
