    I loved the looks of 'Dordogne' after seeing pics of it. I ordered 50 of them and planted them in one of my flowerbeds in the back yard.

    It has a lot going for it; award winning, tall, large blooms, and variable, mixed colors, changing and beautiful!

    I can't wait to see the blooms this spring! The blending and changing of colors will be stunning to see!

    This is considered a Scheepers' hybrid (or French) tulip. I've never grown a tulip of this type or a single late tulip, so it will be an exciting spring.
