Tulip Violetta

Tulip Violetta is a small botanical tulip with real presence. The blooms are soft rose pink, brushed with hints of green and warm orange on the outside. When they open in the sun they flatten into little stars and show off an inky purple center with dark stamens, so every clump looks lively and full of detail even from close range. This variety belongs to the species tulip group, sometimes called botanical tulips or wild tulips. Each bulb stays low to the ground and carries several flowers on slender upright stems. Plants reach about four to eight inches tall and flower in mid spring. Garden writers describe Violetta as a delicate multi headed tulip that is tougher than it looks and ideal for enjoying in pots before moving it into the border. For gardeners in the United States Tulip Violetta is easy to place and easy to please. Species tulips are naturally compact and long lived, and they are known for coming back reliably when they have a sunny spot and soil that drains well. Violetta
