Tulipa ‘Synaeda Blue’ is a striking and sophisticated tulip variety, known for its unique colouring and classic form. Grown organically without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides, this tulip is a perfect choice for gardeners who value both dramatic spring displays and sustainable growing practices.
Despite its name, ‘Synaeda Blue’ is actually a rich, dusky shade of violet-lavender, with cool undertones that can appear almost silvery in certain lights. The large, silky petals are elegantly shaped, creating a classic tulip silhouette that stands out beautifully in mid to late spring borders. Each bloom is held on a sturdy stem reaching around 50–55 cm, making it an excellent choice for both garden display and cut flower arrangements.
This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It prefers light, fertile soils such as sandy loam and should be planted in autumn at a depth of 10–15 cm and spaced approximately 10 cm apart. As with all tulips, good drainage is essential—particularly during the dormant summer months—to prevent the bulbs from rotting. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally so the bulb can store energy for the next season.
Though many hybrid tulips are treated as annuals, ‘Synaeda Blue’ may return for a second or even third year in favourable conditions, especially when lifted and stored or grown in reliably dry, free-draining soil.
With its refined appearance, tall stature, and beautifully moody tones, Organic Tulipa ‘Synaeda Blue’ makes a dramatic yet elegant addition to spring plantings. Whether used in a monochrome scheme or contrasted with bright whites, deep purples, or soft pastels, it brings an air of mystery and sophistication to the sustainable garden.
