“You have breast cancer.” No one wants to hear that, but last year 200,000 Americans did, including our co-worker and friend, Kelly. The good news is, after surgery and months of chemo and radiation, her prognosis is excellent and she’s back in the garden working harder than anyone. In celebration, we’re donating $3 from each of these samplers to the Live Strong Foundation. We’ll send you (or your mom, daughter, sister, or friend) a pink and powerful $30 assortment of hardy, fall-planted bulbs, all labeled and great for your area. Help beat breast cancer with flowers!

It’s not by chance that so many wild tulips are red, or that for centuries red was the most popular color for garden tulips. As every artist knows, red and green are complementary colors so together they look especially vibrant and right. And through some quirk of genetics, red tulips are often more vigorous and enduring than their peers.
           You’ll get 1 bulb each of 5 brilliant, long-lasting, and very rarely offered Single Early tulips: 1 ‘Cramoisi Brillant’ (1785), 1 ‘Vermilion Brilliant’ (1845), 1 ‘Cardinal’s Hat’ (1860), 1 ‘Artus’ (a.k.a. Garibaldi, 1860), and 1 ‘Vuurvlaam’ (1897). For zones 5-7, from the Hortus.
