Peppermint Stick Tulip

Every bit as sweet and colourful as it sounds.
Its slender, 5 cm flowers have alternating red and white petals that conjure up images of candy canes. Considered a self-sowing "wild" tulip, Peppermint Stick naturalizes well and can be left in the same spot for years. It's perfect for borders and rock gardens. Plant several bulbs close together and watch this small-statured tulip form a beautiful floral blanket. Very easy to grow. A winner of the Royal Horticultural Society's prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
