Its striking flowers are perfect for adding bright spots to lawns or flowerbeds, where they’ll stand out without overwhelming the rest of your plants. If you’re looking for something different, Tulip mauritiana 'Cindy' offers a rare opportunity to bring a little-known, eye-catching variety into your garden.
