Tulips Plaisir Set Of 12 Bulbs – Red/Yellow – Van Zyverden

Product Description

Tulips are the indispensable blooms of the spring garden, as they bring it to life! They are unique in the range of size, shape, and bold color found in almost every color spectrum, that only tulips provide. Tulips are suitable for a wide range of plantings, are excellent in the rock garden, in formal beds, as elegant cut flowers, and for containers. They can be used in nearly any garden design scheme. Flowers are upward facing, with linear to lance-shaped green leaves on the stem. Tulip descriptions can become quite technical, as they are grouped into 15 different divisions, describing the petals, stamens, and leaves in detail. Plant several different varieties of tulips throughout the garden to extend the blooming time.
Plaisir is a unique shorter stem Greigii tulip variety, defined by its variegated foliage and big blooms! Red petals with white edges and a yellow center with some black stripes. Can be grown in beds, borders and/or containers. Variety was granted the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
