Tulip ‘Boot Camp’ is a special late spring tulip that stands out because of its unusual look. The petals are deeply fringed, almost like feathers, which gives each flower a soft and detailed appearance. The flowers open in a creamy ivory colour with a warm tone, and as they mature, the fringed edges become more visible, adding extra depth.

This tulip belongs to the fringed tulip group, known for their finely cut petal edges that add texture to the garden. The blooms are large and well-shaped, with a strong, sculptural look that is eye-catching but not too bold.

The flowers grow on strong, upright stems that hold up well, even in less sheltered spots. In the garden, ‘Boot Camp’ adds structure and contrast next to smoother tulip varieties. It is also very good as a cut flower, lasting well in a vase and adding interest to arrangements.
