Description
This perfect double late Tulip 'Lilac Perfection' promises to add a touch of romance and charm to your late spring garden. Its long-lasting blooms, held aloft on sturdy stems, can confuse you a little – has some prankster cut a selection of perfect lilac-purple roses and mounted them on tulip stems? The charming blooms of the Tulip 'Lilac Perfection', with their double rows of petals, make excellent cut flowers, too. These peony-style bloomers prefer to be kept out of the wind, and you will be happy to offer them protection once you see their flowers. You wouldn’t want even a light spring breeze to damage the perfect blooms of Tulip 'Lilac Perfection'.
