Description

‘Polychroma’ tulips are among the species types or botanical tulips. That means you’re likely to be in for a pleasant surprise with a plant that nobody will even believe is a tulip! This pretty species has white flowers with delicately pointed petals and a splash of gold at the heart of each bloom. It’ll make you think of sunshine in the snow, or the golden treasure at the heart of an ice palace!

Tulip 'Polychroma' is reliable and hardy despite its delicate prettiness, and in the right conditions it will naturalize, blooming again and again each springtime. Will you love it as much as we do? Sure, you will!
