SINGLE LATE TULIPS

I love the long-lasting quality, both in vase and garden, of the single late tulips.Their 30" height makes them stand out in the garden beds, and their giant blooms, when fully open, are up to 6-7" across. They are held on strong stems. Shown here after high winds, the stems straightened right up. Pictured here are Blushing Beauty, Perystroyka and Temple of Beauty.

SPRING ARRANGEMENT OF BLUSHING BEAUTY, SINGLE LATE TULIP

BLUSHING BEAUTY is a SINGLE LATE TULIP.  This class of tulips incorporates Darwin Tulips and Cottage Tulips. Commonly known as Mayflowering tulips, the single late class is probably the most popular group due to their consistent and reliable performance for both cutting and mass plantings.  Blooms are shapely, large, and tall, these topping a 32" + height.  When opened up, they can reach up to 7 inches in diameter.  I also like their delicate color when they fade--simple beautiful.  They are long-lasting in the garden and in the vase. The bulbs also keep their vigor, providing large, tall blooms for years.
