A standout in the late-spring landscape, the Queensland tulip is a premium choice for cut flower farmers looking to offer a peony-style aesthetic with a modern twist. This Double Fringed Crispa variety produces large, exceptionally full blooms characterized by layers of ruffled petals and intricate, crystalline-fringed edges that catch the light. As a mid-to-late season bloomer, it helps bridge the gap between traditional tulips and early summer perennials. The sturdy stems are robust enough to support the weight of the dense, multi-petaled heads, making them reliable for transport and bouquet work. For the best quality, harvest when the buds are tight but showing clear color; with proper post-harvest handling, florists and customers can expect a generous vase life of 7 to 10 days.
