Crystal Beauty Fringed Tulip Bulbs – Vivid Red & Yellow, Crystalline Fringe, Fall Planting

Tulipa 'Crystal Beauty' is the tulip that makes people stop and lean in for a closer look. This late-blooming Fringed tulip combines vivid red and golden-yellow petals with a distinctive crystalline, needle-like fringe along every edge — giving each bloom a jewel-like intricacy that photographs beautifully and looks even better in person. Plant it where it can be seen up close: at the front of a border, in a patio container, or as a statement cut flower in a vase.

Planting & Care

Choose a well-draining site — avoid areas that hold standing water after rain. Plant with the pointed tip facing up, 6–7 inches deep. Water thoroughly once after planting; roots develop through autumn and bold blooms follow in late spring. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally before removing — this feeds the bulb for next season.
