Canasta

The fringed edge of Canasta catches light in a way that solid petalled tulips simply cannot. Each bold crimson and white petal ends in a delicate crystal like fringe, like the finest handmade lace laid along the rim of a flower. Flowering in April to June, it brings a quiet sophistication to borders, lifting any planting with its refined detail. In a vase, the fringed petals catch the light differently at different times of day, never quite looking the same twice. As a cut flower it is exceptional, strong stems hold the bloom upright for well over a week, making it as valuable to the vase as it is to the border. Every bulb is hand selected from BLOM's Dutch growers, chosen for size, firmness and the promise of the bloom to come. A small act of trust with a beautiful, reliable reward.
