Through the years I've tried just about everyone for bulbs but A.D.R. is tops. It's a family run business and the service levels and expertise are as good as the product they sell. My clients rave about the results we get with A.D.R. and that makes me happy.

Tulipa Triumph 'Kissable'
Tulip
Kissable is a Triumph tulip, known for its soft rose‑pink blooms brushed with warm coral tones and a gentle, luminous sheen. It blooms in mid‑spring on medium‑height, sturdy stems that reach 14 to 16 inches, offering a refined and romantic presence in the garden.
This variety thrives in full sun with well‑drained soil and is prized for its long‑lasting flowers that hold up beautifully through unpredictable spring weather. Kissable is an excellent choice for forcing in pots, as well as for landscaping and cut‑flower production, where its elegant color and classic form make it especially appealing.

When should I plant Tulipa Triumph 'Kissable'?
Growing and Maintenance Tips for Tulipa Triumph 'Kissable'
Planting: Plant in fall when soil temperatures drop below 55°F. Set bulbs 6–8 inches deep with the pointed end up. Triumph tulips adapt well to borders, containers, and large-scale plantings thanks to their uniform habit and wide color range.
Spacing: Space bulbs 4–6 inches apart. For a cohesive display, plant in groups of 10 or more—ideal for both solid color blocks and curated mixes.
Light: Full sun encourages strong, upright stems and bold color. While light shade is tolerated, performance is best with at least 6 hours of direct light.
Soil: Provide well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil (pH 6–7). In poorly drained areas, amend soil or raise beds to prevent bulb rot.
Watering: Water after planting to settle the soil. During spring, water only in extended dry spells—too much moisture can shorten bloom duration.
Temperature & Dormancy: Requires 12–16 weeks of cold (below 50°F) for proper rooting and flower initiation.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer when planting and again in spring as foliage emerges to support stem strength and bloom quality.
Pests: Squirrels may dig recently planted bulbs—use mulch or mesh to deter them. Deer will eat buds and foliage, especially in early spring, so apply repellents or fence vulnerable areas.
Disease: To prevent Botrytis (Tulip Fire), plant only healthy bulbs in sunny, airy spots. Avoid overhead watering. Remove and destroy any infected plant material—do not compost. Rotate planting locations yearly and avoid replanting in previously affected sites for three years.
