12-Count Tulips Multiflowering Praestans Unicum Bulbs

Tulips are the indispensable blooms of the spring garden, as they bring it to life! They are unique in range of size, shape, and bold color, found in almost every color spectrum that only tulips provide. Tulips are good for a wide range of plantings, are excellent in the rock garden, in formal beds, as elegant cut flowers, and good for containers. They can be used in nearly any garden design scheme. Flowers are upward facing, with linear to lance shaped green leaves on the stem. Tulip descriptions can become quite technical, as they are grouped into 15 different divisions - describing the petals, stamens, and leaves in detail. Let's just enjoy them for what they are - an incredible source of inexpensive color for the garden. Plant several different varieties of tulips throughout the garden to extend the blooming time. Fun fact: it typically takes about six years to grow a Tulip from seed to flower. Praestans unicum - a cayenne red species Tulip - produces wildly variegated leaves. As a species Tulip, it is more likely to bloom in subsequent years, naturalize, and come back on its own. Each bulb will produce one stalk with with several blooms, hence it being known as a bunch flowering Tulip.
