Tulipa clusiana Peppermintstick

Tulipa Peppermintstick has furled petals that look like a stick of edible rock and when open cerise pink on the reverse and ivory white on the inside with a violet eye. The whole effect is lovely but remember that all the clusiana forms have reasonably large flowers on quite slender stems so plant them in sunny conditions where it is not too windy. This variety has been bred from Tulip clusiana, the "Lady Tulip " which originally came from Iran and Afghanistan.
