Tulipa Greenstar (Lily-Flowered Tulip)
A very graceful lily-flowered tulip, Tulip ‘Greenstar’ features chartreuse-white flowers with elegantly pointed and reflexed petals, delicately adorned with bold green flames in their center. As the bloom ages, it brightens to white and assumes hints of yellow. Blooming in the late spring garden, this unusual tulip is a show-stopper.
