Pretty, though more pink than apricot, and not all bloomed

Submitted 2 years ago

By Flower maximalist

From Zone 6b

Of 25 bulbs, only 16 sprouted and 12 bloomed, but those that did bloom had up to 5 flowers per bulb! As others have noted, the color is more pink than apricot but still very pretty!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

They were late blooming but beautiful! Late snow didn't deter them.

Not pinkish apricot like the picture showed

Submitted 4 years ago

By DLO

From Mankato, MN

I ordered these for the pinkish hue like the pictures shown on the website. I was disappointed that they bloomed much more orange than I would have preferred. I purchase a bunch of these and them with a bunch of other bulbs in over 30 bouquet clumps around my garden so there is no way I could dig up everything to take these out. They do have HUGE blooms that lasted for quite a long time.

I've never ordered flowers before. I wish they were more of the salmon color I expected. They are a pale pink.

Pink tinged with Apricot

By Lori

From Eastern Shore, MD

These tulips are breathtaking planted in a large group. The colors are definitely different than the main product photo. The outside of the petals is pink and the inside is apricot with a yellow base.

We ordered the Apricot Beauty tulips last Fall for a client. When they bloomed this Spring, they were red and yellow striped -- nothing like the color shown. Our client is having us replace all of them.

The variegated leaves make it stand out amongst the others as it is growing in. The color is beautiful and changes as it grows!
