Water-Lily Tulip (Tulipa kaufmanniana)

Description

Also referred to as the water lily tulip, Kaufmanniana tulips produce single, bowl-shaped blooms in early to mid spring which resemble water lilies when fully open! Each brightly coloured bloom has a contrasting coloured centre, and is held on a short sturdy stem, making Tulip 'Kaufmanniana Mixed' ideal for ground cover, and particularly suitable for containers and window boxes. Tulip flowers are excellent for cutting and last for up to 10 days in a vase. Bulb size 10/11. Height: 25cm (10"). Spread: 15cm (6").
