Description
Bring a real dash of panache to your spring display with Tulip 'Drakensteyn'! This fringed tulip features a coquettish confection of hot pink and white on its candy-striped petals, to bring some renaissance hedonism to the party. Most fringed tulips feature a sedate frill along the top of each petal, but not so the frivolously flouncy blooms of Tulip 'Drakensteyn'—the petals are deeply fringed along every border with wild spikes emerging from all angles, for a riot of tantalising texture.
Tulip 'Drakensteyn' is a fiery beauty making its mark on the garden. With one-of-a-kind blooms on long, robust, and sturdy stems, Tulip 'Drakensteyn' is a cut flower grower’s dream. At their best in May, towards the end of the tulip season, we think these long-lasting flowers are a valuable addition to any display.
