Nursery contributed plant descriptions

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.
