    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Fantastic foliage is this tulip’s forte! Leaves are striped with purple, pink and green, the wavy margins are outlined in yellow…plants on fire! You don’t need a bloom with this one, but it does with a hot red flower too. A low grower at 6-8” tall. blooms are a good size and it WILL get attention with those leaves! A species tulip that naturlizes better than most in a hot sunny location with summer dry.
