Description
Here is a fantastic tulip with a really fruity flavour! Of course, it’s not actually edible, but this rare-to-find tulip certainly does look delicious! Its flowers are of the deepest red, with some of the petals verging on deep pink. The basal petals have greenish markings, too. And the flowers are just packed with petals—a true double tulip that will make your beds, borders or containers come alive with vivid colour and vibrancy.
Tulip 'Ice Cream Strawberry' opens into a luxurious, silky stack of intense, ruffled layers giving an overall appearance of strawberries, held in a green cup, ready to have cream poured all over them!
Tulip 'Ice Cream Strawberry', which makes a good cut-flower, is a variation of the gorgeous 'Ice Cream' variety. It is a unique, double peony-flowered tulip with the wow factor that complements our other sumptuous 'Ice Cream' tulips, 'Ice Cream', 'Ice Cream Banana' and 'Vanilla Coup'.
