    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This uniquely colored, brown-inflected tulip has "a real 'old-timey' look to its garnet and primrose flowers," as J. Horace McFarland wrote in 1938. Its shape is wonderfully old-fashioned, too, with lancet-pointed petals that curl back gracefully as they open in the sun. One of the so-called Cottage tulips, it was re-discovered by the Rev. Joseph Jacobs "in an old garden in Hanmer in 1905." Very limited supply, Cottage/Single Late, 14-16", zones 4a-7b(8aWC)
