Tulip Maureen | Late Simple Tulip

Tulip ‘Maureen’ | Late Simple Tulip

Elegant, timeless, and exceptionally graceful, Tulipa 'Maureen' is considered one of the finest white late tulips for sophisticated spring gardens and luxurious floral arrangements. Admired for its enormous chalice-shaped blooms and tall elegant stems, this classic tulip creates a luminous and refined display in the late spring garden.

The perfectly formed flowers open in soft creamy-yellow tones before gradually maturing into radiant marble-white blooms with a delicate ivory glow. The large goblet-shaped flowers catch the light beautifully, creating an airy and elegant effect among spring borders and floral compositions.

Blooming in May on strong weather-resistant stems reaching up to 60–65 cm tall, Tulip ‘Maureen’ is highly valued for both garden performance and professional cut flower production. Its sturdy stems withstand wind and rain remarkably well, while the elegant blooms bring height, structure, and sophistication to planting schemes.

A long-time favourite among gardeners and florists, ‘Maureen’ combines beautifully with late flowering tulips in shades of apricot, blush pink, lavender, burgundy, and soft peach. Its timeless white colouring also makes it especially popular for wedding florals and elegant monochromatic spring gardens.
