Description
Farmer Gracy’s team has found a new tulip that lives up to its delightful name in every way. While admiring all the best tulips from all the best tulip growers in Holland at Keukenhof, we came across a real show-stopper: Tulip 'Candy Apple Delight'. We wanted to make sure that this tulip would perform in accordance with a long list of criteria which we use to choose only the best varieties to offer you. We kept returning to the gardens throughout the flowering season, and time after time, Tulip 'Candy Apple Delight' was a highlight of the visit.
Other tulips that had begun to bloom at the same time had already faded, but 'Candy Apple Delight' kept doing its sweet thing, flirting with passers-by with her sweet candy red and sugar white petals. Best of all, there’s a whole Delight series, so prepare yourself for a delightful spring and reserve your very special bulbs today.
