Historic? We're not sure. Extraordinary? Yes! This true broken tulip was discovered at the Hortus Bulborum. It's not clear whether it's an heirloom whose label was lost or a newly-broken version of one of their other heirloom varieties, but it's so stunning we couldn't resist it. With deep, dark purple flames on creamy white petals, it's a tulip that Tulipomaniacs of the 1630s would have given a fortune to own! Single Late, 16-20", zones 4b-7a(7bWC).
