Bulbs

Tulipa 'Wowee'

Wowee Fringed Tulip

Tulipa 'Wowee' bears fringed blossoms edged with delicate, finely cut margins that give each petal a lacy finish. The blooms emerge with a radiant blend of pink and orange tones that deepen as they mature, creating warm color throughout spring. These fringed petals frame a soft center and present an airy, decorative look in garden beds or floral arrangements.

Blooming in mid-season spring, this cultivar is well suited to borders, containers, and cutting gardens where its detailed petal edges can be appreciated up close.

Design tip

The early flowers arrive when the garden is still waking up, so give it a spot you pass often in spring. Drift them in uneven groups for a natural look, and interplant with perennials that fill the gap after the leaves die back.
