Features

notes

With a beautiful colour combination, Tulip Columbus is a flamboyant, long-lasting variety, that adds real interest to a spring border. The goblet shaped flowers, reminiscent of a peony, are fully double and bear a rich raspberry colour with white edging.

Insights

Plant in beds or containers, this is an opulent tulip that looks beautiful on its own in a drift or mixed in with other spring flowers. It works especially well with purple or blues.
