These are the best mid-season Tulips for large flowers, strong stems, and clear, bright colors. Good for large scale plantings and masses of strong color. Tulips were introduced into Europe from Turkey in 1554 and have figured prominently in floral history ever since. While the fabulous prices paid for a single bulb during Holland's famous 17th century "tulipmania" have never been equaled, there continues to be a strong commitment on the part of growers to create new kinds of hybrids of outstanding merit
