Tulip ‘Katinka’
Tulip ‘Katinka’ is a beautifully sculpted Double Tulip, its abundant petals layered in soft, silken folds of lavender purple, with occasional hints of lilac and smoky mauve. The blooms are generous and rounded, with a gentle ruffling that gives them the plush elegance of a springtime rose. There’s a serene, old-fashioned beauty to ‘Katinka’—charming without being delicate, and quietly luxurious.
Flowering in mid to late spring, ‘Katinka’ reaches a neat 14–16 inches (35–40 cm), making it ideal for pots, path edges, or woven through the front of a border where its romantic tones can catch the light and soften the scene.
Position: Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for best results. Groups of five or more will create a fuller effect, allowing the lavender hues to deepen and mingle across the planting.
Style tip: Combine with pale blush tulips like ‘Angelique’, soft whites such as ‘Mount Tacoma’, or silver-leaved companions like artemisia for a pastel-toned planting scheme that glows in morning or evening light. In arrangements, ‘Katinka’ brings a dreamy, vintage feel—perfect for spring weddings or gentle, seasonal displays.
Why it captivates: ‘Katinka’ is a tulip of quiet refinement—layered, romantic, and full of gentle color. It evokes the softness of early spring skies and the elegance of a well-worn silk gown, offering timeless beauty in every petal
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.
