EXCLUSIVE TULIP! You simply must follow this tulip every day and experience the wonder... It starts as a plump, thick bud, changing colour from green to purplish-pink with green stripes. Then, a whole cluster of buttercup yellow petals emerges from the centre. Before they unfurl, they are, as it were, held captive by the purplish-pink to deep wine-red casing. At that stage, it looks just like a banana ice cream! Eventually, the yellow petals win out and the large yellow centre becomes visible...
Large, very double flowers (like peonies), blooming in May. Give them a sheltered spot; they bloom for a long time.
