Description

Just 6 Inches Tall but offer large blooms on short stems and are often called Water-Lily Tulips because of the way they open out flat with maturity. When theblooms first open, their petals display snow white interiors with a scarlet reverse. As they open fully, they reveal bright lemon-yellow centers encircled with a ring of scarlet brushstrokes, while the white interiors mature to a creamy ivory and the exteriors become more intensely colored. Finally, the pale interiors take on a carmine blush and the centers glow.

 At just 6 inches tall, they're perfect for pots, windowboxes, front of the border standouts, and rock garden accents, perennializing beautifully to return with a bigger and brighter show each spring. Zones 3-8."
