    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The name of Blue Spectacle tulips proclaim "blue" but your eyes tell you "deep violet". Trust your eyes, and trust, too, that whatever you call this gracefully formed tulip, it's lovely. Multi-petaled, puffy blooms reminiscent of the peonies to came later in the spring, come into full glory in late spring. Plant with pink bleeding hearts for an unbeatable combination in the front bed and in a vase.
