A very classic, but outstanding tulip combination that will brighten your borders and catch the attention of all! Illuminating Old Westbury Gardens borders and elegantly dancing like ballerinas over a sea of colorful viola are 2 tall and beautiful tulip varieties, Tulip 'Big Chief' and Tulip 'Big Smile'.
A planting idea that is ideal for beds and borders, edging or containers. All tulips make excellent cut flowers and look fabulous in a vase too. Enjoy!
