Tulip 'Verona Sunrise'
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
Voluptuous pinky coral double flowers that open to reveal a stunning saturated sunrise within
Standing pleasingly tall in a container or pot, the flowers’ rosey tones contrast wonderfully with an abundance of healthy green foliage.
Ages beautifully over time, eventually taking on a faded vintage appeal that’s equally delightful in the vase. Plant in a well-drained sunny site to increase the likelihood of becoming perennial.
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.
