Description

Tulip mauritiana 'Cindy' is the kind of rare beauty that gardeners dream of: a late-flowering species, originally from the Savoy region of eastern France, first described in 1858 and rediscovered in 1979. This hybrid of a wild alpine tulip is not only rare but also a treat to behold. The primrose yellow blooms are enhanced with delicate red flames and markings along the edges of the petals, offering a subtle yet captivating display of colour. Tulip mauritiana 'Cindy' stands out with its unique blend of elegance and simplicity, making it a stunning addition to any garden.

As a very late bloomer, Tulip mauritiana 'Cindy' can be paired beautifully with other wild species like Tulipa aximensis to create a natural, woodland-style garden. It thrives in well-drained soil and a sunny spot, bringing a pop of colour when other tulips are long gone. 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. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy this unique hybrid—it’s a true gem for any collector or enthusiast.
