A recent introduction

Val Bourne spotted this and felt we had to offer it! Cairo is a fairly recent introduction in the tulip world and has been bred for its shimmering, bronze-infused, orange flowers. The classic shaped flowers are scented and appear in April and are great for adding depth to orange planting schemes. Alternatively if you are feeling bold, try mixing it with reds and purples.
