Very large, yet supremely elegant lily-shaped blossoms of sunset-flamed soft rosy-pink, blending to soft yellow on the petals’ edges. When closed, they have a quiet sculptural quality, but in the sun, with their petals unfurled, they look like a flock of exotic birds taking flight! One of the tallest of the Single Late tulips, she sports a sturdy, strong stem that will withstand wind and rain. 24-30”

This new variety blooms in early spring and features several blooms per stem, each looking like a cream coloured candle with flames of pink and gold gracing the centre of each petal. When happy in a sunny site, with well-draining soil, these Greigii tulips can naturalize well. Greigii varieties are developed from the Tulipa greigii species, which are native to Turkestan, and while low growing, the blooms are very large in proportion to the rest of the plant. They’re lovely as cut flowers too.

Viridiflora Tulips
We love the Viridiflora (Latin for ‘green flower’) tulip group for their delicately feathered green on softly colored petals producing an ethereal beauty all of their own. But more importantly, that green provides some chlorophyll to the blooms themselves, producing incredibly long lasting blooms (3-4 weeks!) in the garden, and double the vase life of most cut tulips. A late-flowering tulip, these long-lasting beauties enhance bedding designs as well as cut flower arrangements
Standing out, award-winning ‘Artist’ is truly an unusual tulip with its amazing golden-orange flowers and soft green feathering. Sturdy and reliable, its overall flower shape is cupped to about 3” across. Blooming in late spring, this spectacular member of the Viridiflora (Latin for green flower) group enjoys long lasting blooms (3 weeks!) and will look ravishing in a vase. 12”

Parrot Tulips
Aptly named for their feather-like, ruffled petals, these large and exotically frilled blooms are some of the most flamboyant varieties available, with each and every bloom being unique. Developed from genetic mutations, Parrot blooms will open playfully in the sunlight and will often change colors as the flower matures. They are late season blooms with a few types being among the very last to flower.
Ranked as one of the top rewarded tulips for its excellence and easy culture, this award-winner is one of the most fabulous tulips with its over-sized apricot-pink petals flushed with green and yellow stripes, and wavy-edged and fringed like feathers. As its large flower is exposed to the sun over time, it opens so wide that it almost flattens out, revealing its brilliant colours. Blooming in late spring, this spectacular, slightly fragrant tulip belongs to the Parrot group. Late season. 16-24. 22-24″

Botanical Tulips
Multi-flowering, this charming tulip makes a striking impact with its brilliant, copper-yellow flowers, up to 5 per bulb!

A selection of Tulipa cretica, circa 1853, this dainty charmer is so very beautiful yet tough enough to withstand the rocky mountains of Crete from whence it hails. Producing up to three star-shaped flowers per rosy stem, Hilde has a whisper-pink interior with a golden-yellow heart and a pale pink exterior accented with darker purple-pink striations. Like many spring blooms, in cloudy weather and at night the blooms remain closed, but on a sunny day, the petals open wide to greet pollinators and humans alike. 6-7”

This exquisite selection of Tulipa orphanidea puts on an extravagant show despite its diminutive size.

We are ridiculously happy to have found a source for Woodland tulips (Tulipa sylvestris), a 16th century heirloom. It’s a tall botanical tulip (12”) with arching or nodding golden yellow buds with green mid ribs opening upwards to starry blooms with pointed petals. It’s perfect for wildflower meadows or under trees in dappled light. Like all botanical tulips, they are strongly perennial and will naturalize when happy (unlike the large Dutch hybrids), coming back year after year, and each stem can produce many nodding, fragrant blooms.

This duo of species tulips are sweetly reminiscent of Easter eggs. Species, or botanical, tulips are the wild ancestors of our common garden tulips, and are smaller and more delicate.. Unlike their hybrid counterparts, these tulips are prized for their natural beauty, hardiness, ability to thrive in a variety of conditions, and their longevity, making them reliably perennial, and good naturalizers. 6-8”

Resembling candy canes, this lovely award winning bi-colour tulip can make you swoon. Sending up small, slender upright leaves and eye-catching, narrow and pointed, white flowers striped with cherry red lines on their outer petals. The blossoms close at night or on cloudy days but completely open on sunny days, forming a perfect star. Like all botanical tulips, wet, windy weather during its flowering period in mid spring will have little effect on the blooms. It naturalizes easily and will form larger colonies with each passing year. 12”
