Click on my picture to purchase me for your garden Categories: Flower/ Bulb
| DescriptionThis Gorgeous Species Tulip! Grow it in pots, tuck it into nooks in the rock garden, or edge the front of the sunny border. This Turkish Tulip boasts multiple fragrant blooms on each stem and comes back with increased vigor every year! Its fragrant, creamy white blooms appear in early spring 5 to 10 to a stem, opening wide to display vibrant yellow-orange centers. Their petite size, starry shape, and subdued coloring make them a refreshing alternative to their more boisterous hybrid cousins. Found in the wild growing in the rocky soils of Central Asia, this hardy Tulip is at home in rock gardens, containers, or very well-drained borders. It reaches 6 to 10 inches tall, making it a great choice for edging mixed bulb displays! Zones 3-8." |
