Tulip 'Quinty Trustfull'

Tulip ‘Quinty Trustfull’ is a tulip of quiet romance—its full, double blooms unfolding in soft shades of salmon-pink and peach, with petals layered like folds of delicate silk. There’s a gentle glow to this flower, as if each bloom holds the light of a spring sunrise. Named after Dutch presenter Quinty Trustfull, it’s a tulip that feels both graceful and grounded, charming without ever being showy.

As a Double Late Tulip, it flowers in May, with sturdy stems reaching 14–18 inches (35–45 cm). The blooms are full and rounded, almost peony-like in form, and seem to hover above the foliage like pastel lanterns. Each one brings a sense of calm and classic beauty to the late spring garden.

Position: Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Ideal for formal borders, cottage-style plantings, or pots, where its soft color and lush shape can shine.

Style tip: Pair ‘Quinty Trustfull’ with whites like ‘Mount Tacoma’, soft blush tulips such as ‘Angelique’, or richer tones like ‘La Belle Époque’ for a gentle, romantic palette. Its large, layered blooms also make it a superb choice for cut flower arrangements, where it adds softness and depth.

Why it captivates: ‘Quinty Trustfull’ is a tulip for those who favor elegance over drama. With its warm color and full, generous form, it brings a sense of serenity and sweetness—like a whispered promise of spring’s final flourish.

How to Plant & Grow Tulips

Quick Planting Guide

Planting time: Fall, after soil has cooled (September–November, depending on climate)
Soil: Well-draining, fertile, sandy or loamy
Depth & spacing: 6–8" deep, 4–6" apart
Light: Full sun (at least 6 hours daily)
Bloom: Mid–spring (varies by variety: early, mid, or late spring)

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1. Prepare the bulbs
Tulip bulbs are plump, teardrop-shaped, with a pointed tip.
Plant in fall once soil has cooled but before the ground freezes.

2. Choose the planting site
Select a sunny spot with well-draining soil — tulips dislike soggy ground.
They grow beautifully in borders, beds, containers, or naturalized in grassy areas.
Improve heavy soil with compost and sharp sand or grit.

3. Plant the bulbs
Plant bulbs 6–8" deep and 4–6" apart.
Pointed tip faces upward.
Water well after planting to settle soil.

4. Growing on & care

• Watering: Little water is needed over winter. In spring, keep soil lightly moist during active growth and bloom.

• Feeding: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer at planting and again when shoots emerge in spring.

• Mulching: A light mulch layer protects bulbs from winter temperature swings.

5. Bloom time
Tulips bloom from early to late spring depending on the variety.
Flowers range from classic single cups to fringed, peony-flowered, or parrot styles, in nearly every color.

6. After flowering
Deadhead spent blooms to prevent seed formation.
Leave foliage intact until it yellows and withers — this allows the bulb to recharge.
In many climates, tulips perform best as annuals — replant fresh bulbs each fall for the strongest displays.
In well-drained soil, some perennialize and return for several years.

Tips for Success

• Plant in groups of 10+ for the best impact.

• Combine early, mid, and late-season varieties for weeks of continuous bloom.

• Tulips are excellent in containers — layer with other spring bulbs for a “bulb lasagna” effect.

• Protect from rodents by lining planting holes with chicken wire or using bulb cages.
