Lush, full and quietly magnificent, Quatar carries the romance of an old rose in the body of a tulip. Its amethyst and sunshine yellow double blooms are layers of soft petals, each one slightly different, building into something extraordinary. Its season arrives in April to June, and for a few weeks the garden becomes something genuinely romantic. Indoors or out, this is a tulip that earns its place every year. On still mornings in April to June, its fragrance carries across the garden — an invisible quality that makes this variety something to seek out and remember. As a cut flower it is exceptional — strong stems hold the bloom upright for well over a week, making it as valuable to the vase as it is to the border. Grown in the Netherlands, where the science of flower bulbs and the love of beautiful gardens have always been.
