Description
Not all tulips will settle down and deliver the same bloom quality for year after year, but Tulip 'Little Princess' is no prima donna. 'Little Princess' tulips are the result of a cross between two of the species-type Tulips, and what they lack in stature they more than make up for in visual impact. Orange-red, yellow, black and gold petals make for a colour display that’s bound to charm you, and in most gardens, botanical Tulip 'Little Princess' is happy to rebloom and multiply even if you don’t lift the bulbs. Plant the tulip bulbs as an edging for sunny garden beds, in rockeries, or in containers. No matter what home you give her, she’ll make it her castle!
