  • Description

  • Notes

According to Brent Heath, of Brent and Becky's Bulbs, Kaufmann Tulips are a very early tulip, generally low-growing to about 7 to 8 inches tall. The flowers are carmine, red, yellow, to cream, with the paler tulips freqnethly having a carmine blush on the outsides of the petal. The leaves are green and sometimes mottled red. Brent thinks these tulips are a great choice for a rock garden, container, or window box.
