Tulip Purple Prince 

The tulip Purple Prince blooms with a truly classic form. A distinctive variety with its rich, royal purple coloring that looks just as good in the garden as in a bouquet. The scalloped edges of Purple Prince really give this tulip an added dimension. As the flowers open they mature to reveal a dark interior with a golden yellow eye. Purple Prince is a 'single early tulip' - so these tulips bloom early in the season.
