Description
There is real artistry at work in the form and composition of Tulip 'Pink Artist'. You could create a lovely tableau in your garden thanks to its striking variegated leaves, which greatly enhance the impact of its pretty blooms. Petals of antique rose-pink with brushstrokes of green and hints of creamy white are perfectly paired with upright fresh green leaves edged in white. The bloom of Tulip 'Pink Artist' forms a lovely goblet shape, and the tips of the petals are daintily pointed, creating a heartachingly pretty picture.
Tulip 'Pink Artist' is relatively compact, ensuring that the flowers and leaves stand up proud and unbending. This makes it perfect for the front of borders, or in pots where you can admire it at close quarters. Its harmonious shades could be paired with other pretty pinks and creams, or for a perfect duo, try Tulip 'Pink Artist' with its close and equally gorgeous cousin Tulip 'Blushing Artist'. Both tulips are part of the viridiflora group, famous for their very long-lasting blooms (up to 3 weeks), making them excellent for creating stunning, long-lasting displays in a vase.
