Description
The intense rose colour of Tulip 'Rosy Delight' would be enough to impress the most jaded gardener, but there’s more to this delightful Tulip than meets the eye. Sturdy flower stems support some of the most long-lasting Tulip blooms we’ve ever seen – and we monitored them for the entire flowering period. We noticed something else too: as the big flowers reach maturity, the colour softens, almost as if darwin hybrid Tulip 'Rosy Delight' were preparing herself for the lazy days of summer after the intense urgency of spring. As a result, choosing Tulip 'Rosy Delight' is almost like having two different, equally beautiful tulip varieties instead of just one. Do you wish that more tulips would be like Rosy Delight? We have good news for you: there’s a whole Delight range to choose from!
