Description
Tulip 'Ice Cream Sorbet' is a sweet treat for the eyes, and it more than lives up to its deliciously whimsical name. A member of the 'Ice Cream' tulip series, this late-blooming double tulip features a stunning red centre that gradually transitions to soft pink and yellow on the outer petals. At the base, a hint of green adds to its unique charm, creating a layered effect that makes it a true standout. With its vibrant colours and full-bodied form, Tulip 'Ice Cream Sorbet' adds a delightful touch of elegance and playfulness to any garden.
Flowering in late spring, Tulip 'Ice Cream Sorbet' brings an extra burst of colour when the earlier blooms are fading, extending your garden's beauty well into the season. Growing to a height of around 40-45 cm, it’s perfect for adding a pop of vibrant colour to borders, containers, or as a feature in a spring floral arrangement. The unique colour palette, combining red, pink, yellow, and green, makes Tulip 'Ice Cream Sorbet' an easy conversation starter, while its bold, double blooms create a substantial presence. Whether you plant it as part of a mixed display or let it shine on its own, Tulip 'Ice Cream Sorbet' is sure to be a sweet addition to your garden year after year.
