Here's a flamboyant double-flowered tulip that delivers style, grace and flair to the landscape. Newcomer Shirley Double emerges in May with layers of soft, creamy white petals edged in strong violet-purple. The blooms are so full and lush, they more closely resemble peonies than traditional garden tulips. Your clients and customers will be elated with Shirley Double's magnificent display during the later part of spring. These tulips grow on strong, 20-24" stems, making them ideal for sunny borders or perennial beds. For a designer-inspired look, we suggest planting it alongside the near-black Mayflowering Queen of Night or Double Blue Wow.
Hardiness Zones 3-8
Mature Height 20 - 24 inches
Bloom Time Late spring (May)
