Lily-flowering Tulips have long pointed petals which arch outward, the flowers somewhat resembling a lily. Flower colors include white, pink, red, yellow, and purple. Several varieties have petals edged or feathered in contrasting colors. Plants grow to a height of 20 to 30 inches. Fringed Tulips have flowers with elegant fringed petals.
Many varieties are mutants of single late tulips.
The white, yellow, or red petals are striped with red, bronze, or purple. The unusual markings were actually caused by a virus. Due to the virus, the original Rembrandt tulips are no longer sold. However, there several modern, virus-free Rembrandt tulips available. Multiflowering Tulips produce 3 to 7 blooms per stem.
