Tulip China Town

Highly awarded, China Town opens pale pinkish-white with bold green feathering and striking white-edged, blue-green foliage. As its long-lasting flowers mature, they deepen in color to rich phlox-pink with carmine-rose edges and somewhat less prominent green feathering. It is a bit short for a late blooming Tulip, growing to just 12" tall, so it is perfect for border clusters. (Did you know that the phenomena of marginated foliage occurs due to a lack of or insufficient pigmentation and chlorophyll in the plant cells on the outer petal edges?) Tulip Class: Green (or Viridiflora). Bulb size: 12 cm/up. May. HZ: 3-7. Height: 12".

Tulips are The Art & Soul of Spring.
