Tulipa clusiana Cynthia (Botanical Tulip)

Long-lasting, Tulip 'Cynthia' is a lovely bi-color tulip that will make your heart race. This heirloom tulip sends up gray leaves and eye-catching pale yellow flowers delicately flamed rose-red. The blossoms close at night or on a cloudy day but are completely opened on sunny days, forming a perfect star. A beautiful sight! Wet, windy weather during its flowering period in mid-spring will have little effect on ‘Cynthia’! A member of the Botanical Tulips, this tulip is quite versatile in the garden.
