A true early-spring delight, Tulip ‘The First’ is a Kaufmanniana tulip prized for its striking colour contrast and elegant form. Creamy white petals are brushed with bold raspberry-pink flames, opening wide in the sun to reveal a classic waterlily-shaped bloom. Growing on short, sturdy stems, it’s perfect for borders, rock gardens, and pots where its early flowers can be fully appreciated. Like many Kaufmanniana tulips, it is also more perennial than standard tulips, often returning reliably for several seasons in the garden.
