    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This newer Japanese bred hybrid tulip is a sunny yellow, with razor thin red edges on each petal. Stunning from a distance, this is a tulip that looks ever bit as terrific (more, perhaps) up close. Able to stand up to spring weather, consider partnering Akebono with red Parade for your own version of the super popular red and yellow spring combo.
