Batalini Salmon Gem

Batalini Salmon Gem, in its veins runs the blood of the wild tulips of Central Asia.

It bears a generous cup with rather broad yet pointed petals; glowing orange within and salmon-orange on the outside. A fun little tulip for the front of the border or in pots. The foliage is narrow and long with the outer leaves laying flat on the ground. This is an easy tulip and a good stayer, asking only sunshine and good drainage. Given the right spot it will return year on year. The flowers look charming in small vases when cut. Height 12cm.
