description for "Tulips: Tulipa 'Ballerina'"
Tulipa 'Ballerina' glows with red and apricot-tangerine blooms. Exterior petals are blood red with an orange/yellow edge; interior is marigold orange with a buttercup heart. Fragrant and long-lasting. These elegant lily-flowered tulips are gracefully pointed, reflexed petals carried on slender but sturdy stems. They add a graceful, informal touch to the flower border and indoor flower arrangements as well. 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
