Tulip 'Peppermint Stick'

Rock candy colours are just the thing to see you into spring, and with their two-tone petals, it’s easy to see where Tulip 'Peppermint Stick' got its name. The flowers open as the spring progresses, at first only showing pinky red buds, progressing through starburst shapes and finally opening to display the white side of their petals. As botanical tulips (Tulipa clusiana), they can be grown as perennials for year-on-year flowering. Use Tulip 'Peppermint Stick' as a lower-growing foil for classic hybrid Tulips, enjoy them as potted subjects, or mass-plant them for years of pleasure.
