These tulips have
petals which are topped with fringes
that look like the frayed edge of a piece of satin fabric. Some garden
centres may carry only two or three varieties of Fringed Tulips, but
they are gradually becoming more popular, not only because the flowers
look so elegant, but also because the
blooms are quite long-lasting.
