description for "Tulips: Tulipa praestans 'Zwanenburg Variety'"
Species tulip 'Zwanenburg Variety' flowers bear a slight resemblance to poinsettias. Beebe Wilder cautions that this wild tulip is "...altogether too much of a good thing--too big, too red, too spectacular for the rock garden." Bet you can find a place for this multi-flowered eye stopper 'Zwanenburg Variety.' Species tulips are easily grown and long-lasting in sun, naturalize very well, and are wonderful additions to rock gardens and containers. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
