There’s an interesting story behind it too. One doesn’t usually see Czechoslovakia as a tulip breeding country, but that’s just where it originally came from. Add a touch of the exotic to your beds, borders or containers with triumph Tulip 'Gavota', and be sure to bring beauty indoors by cutting some of the blooms for the vase.
