Description

Their distinctive urn shape and long, graceful petals (curving outward to form a perfect six-pointed ""star"" ) distinguish these regal Tulips, allowing them to be focal points in the spring landscape. Lovely scent and unique color! Satiny tangerine blossoms, brushed with yellow, surround bright marigold-orange interiors. Their hardiness and lengthy bloom time, both in the garden and the vase, have endeared them to gardeners everywhere since their introduction in 16th-century Turkey. Blooms are 3 to 4 inches long, spreading to a spectacular 6 to 8 inches across on warm days! Plants grow 20 to 22 inches tall. Late season. Zones 3-8."
