Description
The extremely popular Tulip Hotpants™ is about as cheeky as its name, in more senses of the word than one. The chameleon Tulip changes its colour as the traditionally-shaped Triumph Tulip’s flower matures. As time passes, the tone deepens and the purple stripes on the white petals become even more striking. Tulip Hotpants™ tall (50cm) stems are sturdy enough to stand up to bad weather and would make them suitable for planting behind shorter varieties of Tulips for a show of colour.
