Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This jewel-toned double is named for one of our kind of guys. The founder of Hybrida, an innovative Dutch bulb-house, Kieft was also a tireless advocate for Double Late tulips, preserving and promoting them long after they'd fallen out of fashion. With its broad cups of wine-red and ivory petals, his namesake tulip is a glorious memorial. Double Late, 12-16", zones 3a-7b(8bWC)
