Van Zyverden Tulips Ivory Floradale Set of 12 Bulbs Off White Part Sun

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. 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. The blooms are very large - born atop tall, sturdy stems - making for an excellent cut flower. Opens creamy, ivory yellow and matures to ivory white. Very elegant and often used at weddings.
