Tulips - Crunchy Cummins

🌷Fringed and Fabulous!🌷

RARE. These flamboyant superstars transform from warm, dusky purples to vibrant deep lavender-blue-pinks with extravagantly fringed, snow-white petal edges. These incredible late-blooming flowers will seem to almost change color before your eyes, while held aloft soft green foliage. Enjoy the long-lasting blooms in the garden planted in spectacular drifts, in quirky-colored borders, or planted with a mix of other tulips and spring bedding plants in patio, deck, & entryway containers. 

Superb cut-flowers, with their flashy ornate fringe complementing their classic goblet shape. The coloring of Tulip 'Crunchy Cummins' looks particularly striking with yellow, orange and white flowers. 

Ideal for: Children's Gardens, Cottage Gardens, Cutting Gardens, English Gardens, Pollinator Gardens, and more!
