Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tulipa 'Norah' is a bold and beautiful botanical tulip with glowing deep pink flowers with pointed petals and blue and black bases. 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.
