Description

Get ready to make your garden the envy of the neighbourhood with the show-stopping Tulip 'Purple Tower'! This tulip is not your average Joe—it's more like a botanical Picasso. Picture an artichoke that's been to flower boot camp, with layers that unravel like a suspenseful mystery novel. But hold onto your gardening gloves, because this flower takes its sweet time to transform into a true masterpiece. The number of petals seems to defy logic, appearing in a luxurious green before blooming into a regal shade of purple. Tulip 'Purple Tower' is a towering wonder that could give fairytale castles a run for their money!

If you're a plant enthusiast who craves that high-impact wow-factor, or if you simply appreciate the oddities of nature, then don't miss out on the Tulip 'Purple Tower' experience. Plant the bulbs in the autumn, sit back, and wait for spring to unleash its mind-blowing beauty. For maximum impact, gather a group of 'Purple Tower' tulips in pots or create a vibrant border display. Or, for a whimsical touch, dot these beauties throughout a mixed bulb planting scheme!
