China Town is a spring tulip that changes character as it goes: petals start a soft, pale pink and then mature into a deeper blush to candy-pink tone as the flower ages. Each petal carries distinctive feathered green streaks through the centre, adding a subtle brushed detail that makes the blooms look more nuanced than a plain pink tulip. The foliage is a big part of the appeal too?variegated leaves with a silvery blue-green centre and creamy white to ivory margins?so the planting looks styled even before flowers open. Supplied as a 5-bulb retail pack and shipped in outers of 5, it?s a strong retailer choice for customers who want something decorative from first leaf to final bloom. Primarily ornamental; open blooms may offer limited early-season pollen on mild spring days.
