Sylvestris

Not all great gardens grow tall. Sylvestris makes its mark at ground level, its clear lemon yellow blooms close set and confident, with the mottled foliage that makes this group of tulips interesting even before a flower appears. Blooming in April to June, earlier than most tulips, it heralds the true start of the garden season. Planted in pots or at the front of a border, it creates an immediate sense of spring that larger, later tulips cannot quite replicate. 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. Selected by BLOM's growers for consistent quality and true to type colour, this is a tulip that arrives with every condition for a stunning spring display already built in.
