Darwin Hybrid 'Dafeng' Tulip (Mid to Late)

Dafengs are an early 2000 variety similar to World’s Favorite but with a refined blossom that tapers at the top. Darwin Hybrids are a knockout in the landscape. Chances are if you see tulips in a public setting it is probably a Darwin Hybrid. They are a popular choice because of their large blossoms, the strength of the stem, resilience to bad weather, and their perennial like behavior when planted in their happy spot. Our bulbs are close to 5” in circumference ( 12+ cm) which makes them some of the biggest you can purchase and are sourced from Holland.
