Tulip 'Limoncello'
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
The ultimate palette cleanser, much like its namesake the Italian liqueur
Lush green foliage contrasts to great effect with the luminous white flowers. Held aloft on long, strong stems they have notable staying power and presence in the border.
Complements the delicate blush tones of spring blossom. Grow in a sunny spot to help them reach their full potential.
Tulip petals are all edible. We scatter them over salad and use some petals dipped in tempura batter and served with a spring garden Frito Misto.
