Dordogne Single Late Tulip 8 Bulbs - 12/+ cm Bulbs

This sport of the old favorite 'Menton' has many things to recommend it. The large, oblong blooms combine shades of raspberry, Nasturtium orange, and tangerine in ways that beggar our verbiage but are absolutely riveting, especially when matched up with white. Like those of other "French" Single Late varieties the stems of 'Dordogne' are long (to 27″) and graceful, making a marvelous cut flower, to which end many thousands are grown in the south of France. These bulbs are more perennial than most hybrid Tulips, and they also perform better in the American South and West. The classic aristocrats of the garden, these tall tulips are classified as Single Late which is a combination of the old Cottage and Darwin varieties. They are probably the most widely known and popular of all tulips grown today. With their broad range of bright colors and long stems, they are ideal for beds and borders as well as cutting.
