Tulipa Stresa (Kaufmanniana Tulip)

Award-winning Tulip 'Stresa' is a spectacular cultivar of the Kaumanniana tulips, with flower petals Indian yellow inside, running over to currant red on the outside atop an attractive mottled foliage.

• The flowers open wide during the sunny hours of the day providing an entirely different color effect than when closed. The flower shape also changes dramatically; when open they resemble a shining star. A beautiful sight on display in the early spring garden!
• This tulip was granted the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1993
• Growing only 8-10 inches tall (20-25 cm), this tulip naturalizes easily and will come back year after year to our delight! It creates dazzling harmonies with other bulbs such as crocus.
• Performs best in full sun in rich, fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Prefers areas with cool winters and warm dry summers.
• Easy to grow, this tulip is a welcomed addition to beds, borders, containers, rock gardens, or for naturalizing in grass. For best visual impact, plant in groups (at least 5 to 10 bulbs) or mixed with any other flowering bulbs.
• To be planted in fall.
• All parts may cause severe discomfort following ingestion and may cause an allergic skin reaction. Wear gloves and other protective equipment when handling.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
