Description
Be sure to plant plenty of Hakuun Tulips all around the garden. The gorgeous, white blooms pop up in early spring and are perennials, returning year after year! This Tulip also makes a lovely cut flower.
About Darwin Hybrid Tulips: Early in the 20th Century, a talented Dutch hybridizer named Lefeber worked long and hard with a wild tulip called 'Tulipa fosteriana' from Central Asia. It is red, and from it, he hybridized the group that became known as the Emperor Tulips. The world-famous Red Emperor was introduced in 1931, and is what we now call a member of the 'Fosteriana Tulip' group. In fact, Red Emperor's official variety name is 'Madame Lefeber' in honor of the original hybridizer's wife.
Even though the Red Emperor and other fosterianas were instant sensations, the hybridizers were not satisfied. They were fascinated by what were then called simply 'Darwin Tulips'. These were large-flowered tulips in clear colors on tall stems, but without any perennial qualities. The Emperors, being close to a wild species, were quite perennial, so they crossed the two groups. And voila! Darwin Hybrid Tulips were born, with the best qualities of both groups.
Ever since, the Darwin Hybrids have set the standards worldwide for tall graceful, large flowered perennial tulips. The famous Apeldoorn group was introduced in 1951 by D. W. Lefeber and Company. There are not many Darwin Hybrids, even today. But they are every good gardener's favorites and always highly valued by florists.
In America's Top Ten list for popularity in the US, compiled by the Netherlands Flower Bulb Information Centre, they list no less than three Darwin Hybrids, more than from any other group.

Outstanding crisp white flowers
"I was totally impressed. Large, long-lasting pure white blooms. I had multiple comments from people saying that they wouldn't have thought they would like a white tulip but this tulip changed their minds. Perfect for highlighting a smaller, special garden atea."
Such a great flower!
"I didn't get them in the ground until Halloween, but every single bulb still popped up with a huge display!"
Suprisingly Long-Lasting
"These white beauties are front and center in my White Garden. They held their shape and refused to drop their petals for 3 full weeks, something I have not previously experienced with tulips."
Put on Quite a spring show
"The tulips were outstanding. Tall, strong and beautiful . They bloomed for a good length of time."
