description for "Tulips: Tulipa 'Artist'"
Tulipa 'Artist' is a striking tulip that offers a rainbow palette in a single bloom. Its exterior petals are salmon-pink, kissed with a center of purple and green. The inside of 'Artist' is salmon-pink, with a touch of light green. Viridiflora tulips are recognized by the distinct green markings on their petals complementing the primary bloom color well. And best of all, their Viridiflora tulip blooms are remarkably long-lasting both in the garden and on display as cut flowers. 'Artist' is recommended for zones 3-8. Plant in fertile, well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil. Allow foliage to yellow and wither for 6 weeks prior to removing it. --edited by dtd siegelgirl
