    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Tulipa 'Columbine' is a true broken tulip introduced in 1929 and preserved at the Hortus Bulborum. Richly coloured with feathers, flames or marbles of purple on lavender with white, their patterning will be recognizable to those familiar with still life painting. Large hybrid tulips can be maintained in the garden if given a sunny location with rich soil.
