Long-lasting, Tulip ‘Cynthia’ is a lovely bi-color tulip that will make your heart race. This heirloom tulip sends up gray leaves and eye-catching pale yellow flowers delicately flamed rose-red. The blossoms close at night or on a cloudy day but are completely open on sunny days, forming a perfect star. A beautiful sight! Wet, windy weather during its flowering period in mid-spring will have little effect on ‘Cynthia’! A member of the Botanical Tulips, this tulip is quite versatile in the garden.
A symbol of spring, tulips are the most popular spring bulbs; most gardeners reserve them a spot in the garden or in containers. Grown for their attractive, vibrantly colored flowers, there are currently over 3,000 registered varieties, divided into fifteen groups, mostly based on the tulip’s flower type, size, and blooming period.
Botanical Tulips: it is generally assumed that about 150 different wild species exist in an area running roughly from Central Asia to Spain and Portugal. These are real early birds: they bloom before any other tulips. They catch the eye not only because of their extra early flowering but also because of their inflorescence and cheery range of colors. In addition, the graceful way the flowers open and their pretty foliage make them attractive before, during, and after flowering. In other words, Botanical tulips are simply bursting with nice characteristics.
