Tulip 'Pinocchio' offers fabulous ivory-white blooms marked with scarlet flames and a bronze heart. Combined with its heavily mottled leaves, this creates an unforgettable visual impact! The flowers, large in proportion to the plant's total height, up to 4 in. across (10 cm), open wide in the full sun. Quite a delight! Belonging to the Greigii Tulip Group, 'Pinocchio' will reliably bring sparkles to the garden in early-mid spring.

  • Growing only 10 inches tall (25 cm), this tulip naturalizes easily and will come back year after year to our delight! It creates dazzling harmonies with other early flowering bulbs.
  • 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 10 to 15 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.
