Tulipa-Viridiflora ‘Artist’

Tulipa 'Artist' offers beautiful tones of orange, peach and pink with green stripes.

Viridiflora type tulips are characterized by interesting green streaks in the petals which creates a sophisticated look in the spring garden. ‘Artist’ offers beautiful tones of orange, peach and pink (along with the characteristic green) with the colours changing as the flower ages. Hybrid tulips can persist in the garden for many years. Afterall, they rebloom each year in the fields of the Netherlands. Provide full sun where bulbs aren’t shaded by other plants, fertilize with bulb food as soon as they emerge in spring, and allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering.
