    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Tulipa 'Peppermint Stick' has alternating deep pink and white petals creating a cheery bicolour effect a bit like a candy cane. 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.
