Tulip 'West Point', Lily-Flowered Tulip 'West Point', Lily-Flowering Tulip 'West Point', Lily-Flowered Tulips, Spring Bulbs, Spring Flowers
One of the finest lily-flowered tulips, award-winning Tulip ‘West Point’ is a highly esteemed tulip with primrose-yellow blossoms with pointed and slightly reflexed petals contrasting with their lighter base. Blooming in the late spring garden, this tulip provides an elegant and graceful display when swaying in the spring breeze! As an added bonus, it is fragrant.
A symbol of spring, tulips are the most popular spring bulbs and 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, which are divided into fifteen groups, mostly based on the flower type, size, and blooming period of the tulip.
What makes Lily-Flowered Tulips different from other varieties are their slender flowers with often pointed, recurving petals. The flower stems are thin and not very sturdy, making them susceptible to wind damage. Most bloom in late spring, and a few in mid-spring. Some make good cut flowers, others are fragrant. But all are incredibly beautiful and should be considered in your seasonal plantings. They typically grow up to 16-24 in. tall (40-60 cm).
