Darwin Hybrid Tulip Akebono

Named for Hawaiian-born Sumo wrestler Akebono Taro, this stunning Darwin tulip stands tall and tough to late-season warmth. Perfect for extending the spring season into early summer, Akebono Darwin Hybrid Tulip shows off rich yellow blossoms, lined with a fine red border and streaked with apple green. Darwins are a cross between Fosteriana tulips and late-flowering tulips, resulting in a tulip variety that combines elegant cup-shaped blooms with tough-to-the-sun hardiness and tall, elegant stems. This yellow-and-red tulip is perfect for planting in borders and shines brightly in large containers. Tulipa double late 'Akebono'
