Lily-flowering tulips are a source of joy in late-spring. Here’s one with pointed petals in lovely sunset shades of orange-red and feathered marigold-orange. An extraordinary flower, delicate, lovely and - quite unusual for a tulip - pleasantly fragrant.
Under the eye of the sun it opens perfectly flat and even turns back a little as if about to dance away, flaring towards the sky. Plant in the border or in pots, it always creates a fine effect. Splendid for cutting and bowls of them in the house are a delight. Height 60cm.
Suggestion: pair with the purple tulip Louvre for a delightful contrast planting in both colours and flower shape.
