Tulipa Leen Van de Mark

A magnificent Triumph tulip with cardinal red, egg-shaped flowers with a yellow edge which fades to white, Tulipa Leen Van de Mark flowers from mid-April into May. The broad leaves are mid-green, and the flowers have a white centre.

Ideal for bedding, it can also be planted in pots, and makes a splendid cut flower. A very striking tulip.
