Stresa is one of the older varieties of Tulips, boasting large, yellow and red bi-color blooms atop short stems flanked with attractive, mottled foliage. Elegantly slender when closed in the evenings, Stresa opens to a wide star-shaped bloom during the day. This famous variety is a true perennial.
Stresa is one of the true classics of the tulip world. It was one of the earliest hybrids from the mostly crocus-sized 'wild tulips,' and one that had two important rare characteristics: It was naturally a bi-color, and the flowers were large. The hybridizers quickly 'improved' it a bit, giving us a beauty that is still one of the most popular 'rockgarden' tulips in the world. Stems are only 10 to 12', but the blooms are large and retain their long, elegant shape and beautiful coloring. Best of all, Stresa, like other species or near-species tulips is dependably perennial. In many areas, it actually spreads.

"I planted 20 Stresa Rock Garden Tulips with Blue Moon Dutch Crocus and the look was stunning. The Stresa Tulips were bi-color red and yellow and the Blue Moon Crocus complimented them perfectly. I received many compliments from neighbors."

First tulips to bloom
"Great. Comes back every year! Very healthy and striking appearance. First tulip in my garden each year. At first the stems are short and the blooms are half hidden among the leaves. But the systems quickly grow to expose the beautiful blooms. So don't panic! :-) Requires no special care. I live in the high desert and I do not fertilize or water these. And they perform wonderfully every year."
