Tulip ‘Supermodel’
Tulip ‘Supermodel’ lives up to its name with striking poise and standout beauty. This elegant Lily-flowered Tulip features slender, fluted petals that taper to graceful points, each brushed in vibrant shades of rose pink, coral, and soft salmon—deepening slightly at the edges as though lit from within. The bloom’s shape is statuesque and refined, opening with flair and holding itself with the effortless confidence of its namesake.

Flowering in late spring, ‘Supermodel’ grows to a statuesque 20–22 inches (50–55 cm), making it ideal for adding vertical elegance to borders or cutting gardens. Its tall, willowy stems sway gently in the breeze, bringing a sense of movement and lightness to planting schemes.

Position: Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Best displayed in bold groups or mixed through soft grasses and late-season companions where their colour and form can stand out like brushstrokes across a canvas.

Style tip: Pair with the inky depth of ‘Queen of Night’ or the soft, dusky tones of ‘Menton’ for a sophisticated, high-contrast scheme. Its sleek, upright form also makes it a natural for tall vases and elegant arrangements where line and silhouette take center stage.

Why it captivates: ‘Supermodel’ is all about presence—tall, graceful, and impossible to overlook. With its luminous color and finely drawn form, it brings high fashion to the spring garden, offering drama without heaviness and beauty with unmistakable flair.

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.
