A really long-lasting tulip producing fine, single, cup-shaped, ivory-white flowers with a violet tinge that gets more dramatic as the flowers mature. Late Flowering. Height 35cm. Size 11/12cm. (Bulb sizes"ed in centimetres refer to the circumference of bulbs. All bulbs are sourced from cultivated stocks.) Tulips are the embodiment of a British spring garden, but did you know that they had their humble origins in the mountains of Kazakhstan? & did you know that in the early 17th century, when 'tulip mania' hit Holl&, prices of the recently introduced bulbs soared, some single bulbs selling for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman!
