How about a tulip that's immortal? Our customers led us to 'Demeter', telling us it returned and bloomed in their gardens for a decade or more. A vibrant, very rosy purple, it's named for Demeter (say Di-MEET-er), the Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility _ another good reason to grow it. Triumph, 24", zones 3a-7b(8bWC)
