Tulipa Upstar (Double Late Tulip)

Almost looking like a rose with its double set of petals, Tulip 'Upstar' seems to be pink perfection in a late-blooming tulip, but in fact, it is a creamy white tulip that 'fades to pink'. This unusual effect occurs as the petals mature and broad bands of purplish-rose emerge to alter the flower's coloration. As an added bonus, it is delightfully fragrant!

• Growing up to 18 inches tall (45 cm), this tulip creates dazzling harmonies with other flowering bulbs.
• Since the flowers can be damaged in extreme weather conditions (rain and wind), it is advisable to plant them in a sheltered location.
• 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, and containers. For best visual impact, plant in groups (at least 10 to 15 bulbs) or mixed with any other flowering bulbs. Excellent as cut flowers!
• 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.
