Description
Delightful in so many ways, Tulip 'Sunny Leo' is cheerful, quirky and fun. The deeply-frayed and irregular petals with pointy tips make a great statement. Better still, they are in a gorgeous buttery-yellow shade, sometimes touched with subtle flecks of red. When the blooms open up fully, they look even more striking, with daisy-like petals and contrasting large, black anthers. Tulip 'Sunny Leo' are a floral stylist’s dream, whether you want to play around with them in a vase or create a cheerful and fun vibe in your garden.
Tulip 'Sunny Leo' is a close relative of the red Tulip 'Robbedoes', and together they make a great pairing. As part of the trendy crispa or fringed group of tulips, both have the signature wildly frayed petals that make them so characterful. Standing at a good height of up to 55cm, Tulip 'Sunny Leo' won’t get lost in the border, and its long stem makes it a great candidate for cutting and creating arty floral arrangements. You’ll certainly have people asking you what it is!
