Fancy Frills Fringed Tulip Bulbs – Pink & White, Crystalline Fringe, Late Spring Bloomer

Tulipa 'Fancy Frills' (syn. 'Dallas') earns its award-winning reputation every spring. This late-blooming Fringed tulip opens soft pink-and-white petals edged with a delicate, needle-like crystalline fringe — a texture you have to see up close to fully appreciate. While other tulips have come and gone, Fancy Frills arrives in May to close the season in style. Plant it at the front of borders where the intricate petal detail can be admired, or cut a few stems for a vase that looks like it belongs in a florist’s window.

Planting & Care

Plant in well-draining soil with the pointed tip facing up. Water thoroughly once after planting — roots establish through autumn and blooms follow in late spring. Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally before removing; this replenishes the bulb. In Zones 3–7, bulbs naturalize well and return year after year. In warmer zones, lift and store over summer or treat as annuals.
