Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fragrant tulips? Yes, there are a few varieties with scent and this is one. Plant in containers, along paths, in rock gardens and next to the patio where you sit and enjoy those first few warming rays of spring sunshine. Bright, but not huge, this minis have the greatest impact when planted in groups. Buy several dozen and let them boost you sprints for many springs to come.
