Tulip 'Foxy Foxtrot'

A fragrant, color-shifting tulip with ruffled, ranunculus-like blooms that attract early pollinators.

As a natural mutation, or "sport," of the classic Foxtrot variety, this Double Early tulip brings a complex, color-shifting quality to the mid-April garden. While the ruffled flowers begin their bloom in a bright citrus-yellow, the petals gradually transform into a multi-toned blend of apricot, marmalade-orange, and salmon-rose, often finished with delicate white highlights and a touch of green at the tips. These full, multi-layered blossoms closely resemble ranunculus and are highly attractive to early-season bees, who are drawn to the variety’s sweet fragrance.

Growing to a sturdy 12 to 14 inches, Foxy Foxtrot is a versatile choice for both the garden border and the vase, where its tri-colored petals and bright green stigmas provide striking visual texture. For those looking to bring spring indoors ahead of schedule, this variety is particularly well-suited for forcing in pots. To create a multi-dimensional display, consider planting these 12cm+ bulbs alongside their pink-toned parent, Foxtrot, to lean into the complementary shades of peach and rose.

Growing instructions
Tulips do best in full sun in northern areas, but will tolerate light shade in hotter areas. They require a well-drained soil, with an ideal pH of 6.0 to 6.5. Water in well after planting, beyond that normal rainfall should be sufficient. Tulip bulbs should be kept cool until ready to plant; and planted in fall at least a month before the ground freezes. Follow the recommended planting depth per variety.
