Tulip, Lily Flowering Mix

The Lily-Flowering Tulip ‘Mix’, come in various colors. The flowers are elegant with their pointed petals which bow outward at the top. The narrow, graceful and reflexed petals are sensational on strong stems. The lily-flowering tulips perennialize without naturalizing, so there is no need to lift them to divide bulbs, & they can remain in their location indefinitely. They have stunning flowers with a mild fragrance, a rarity among tulips.

Lily-Flowering Tulip: These tulips have a unique shape where the blossom resembles a lily, or, sometimes, an urn. Long, pointed petals that are curved back create this effect. From above, the open flower can look like a six-pointed star. Lily-Flowered Tulips aren’t available in dozens of different varieties, but there are compensations – their beautiful shape, for one. As well, several varieties of Lily-flowered Tulips are noted for petals edged in vibrant, contrasting colors. They are quite tall and known for their long-lasting elegant flowers. Do not prune foliage until it has died back. If flowers are used for bouquets, leave as much of the foliage as possible on the plant. Lily-flowering tulips reliably come back every year. Lily-flowering tulips are not only reliable, but they also have a look of elegance. Lift the bulbs about every 5 years or so and replant when they become too crowded.
