Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tulipa clusiana 'Cynthia' is a lovely botanical tulip with long stems and pointed petals in rose-pink and pale yellow. The flowers open wide on warm sunny days. Botanical tulips are miniature to small species tulips, cultivars of species, or dwarf named cultivars not far removed from their wild ancestors. They are strongly perennial and will naturalize when happy unlike the large Dutch hybrids which are often treated as annuals or which fail after a couple years. Photo: Wikipedia.

Botanical tulips aren't as flashy as their hybrid sister but they perform years longer, are super easy to find a place for and show up - delightfully - after you forgot all about them. Plant a couple dozen this fall and you'll never regret it, we promise. Tulip Cynthia has been awarded the Royal Botanical Society's Award of Garden Merit, a prestigious honor bestowed on plants deemed to be great choices for home gardens because of their beauty, durability and reliability.
