The Batalinii Bronze Charm tulip is a variety that dazzles with the unusual flower colouring. The subtle and optimistic orange colour spreading over the slender petals constitutes an attractive decoration of a garden in spring. Those cups, supported by naked stalks, put their beauty on display in April or at the beginning of May. Narrow lanceolate bluish green leaves add even more natural charm to this plant. These miniature, 10 to 20 centimetres tall beauties perfectly complement rock gardens and decorate lawns and flower bed edgings. They look great under the later flowering perennials, such as roses and smaller shrubs. Sweet looking light-coloured tulips are a great ornament when planted in pots and baskets. Should your wish be to create a small cheerful bouquet of those flowers, just cut them. They are reliable cut flowers.
