Van Zyverden Tulips Blue Heron Set of 12 Bulbs Purple Part Sun

Tulips are the indispensable blooms of the spring garden, as they bring it to life! They are unique in range of size, shape, and bold color, found in almost every color spectrum that only tulips provide. Tulips are good for a wide range of plantings, are excellent in the rock garden, in formal beds, as elegant cut flowers, and good 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. Let’s just enjoy them for what they are – an incredible source of inexpensive color for the garden. Award-winning Blue heron is truly remarkable. It is the world’s first blue-fringed tulip. It produces broad grey-green leaves and is quite the charmer, adding drama and show in your garden. Very tall growing, making it an excellent choice for bouquets.
