    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Hallelujah! Once the world's most popular tulip, gracing hundreds of catalog covers, this willowy, shell-pink beauty was lost to gardeners in 2007 when the last US grower finally gave it up. To save it, we sent 100 bulbs from his last harvest to our friends in Holland, and now there's enough to share! Though bred from antique Flemish stock, 'Clara' was the prototypical 20th-century tulip _ not feathered or flamed, not short and bright, but tall, late, pastel, and lovely. Our Fall 2001 Heirloom Bulb of the Year, Darwin/Single Late, 22", zones 3a-7b(8bWC)
