The single late Atlantis tulip will surprise you with the amethyst-purple petals with golden edges that turn almost white with time. This diversity brings the garden in movement and enlivens it. The slender stems and a sea of green, broad, spiky leaves harmonize with the large, elliptic flower heads that consist of six petals. The stiffness of the stalks and the bright saturated colours belong to the advantages of this variety. The fully developed plants reach 45 to 50 cm in height.

This charming tulip is a proven choice for the home gardens. It always looks great as an addition to borders, as a colourful spot on a lawn or a splendid colourful stripe alongside a pavement or path. It will also look great in containers, ornamental baskets and boxes. The cut Atlantis tulips, gathered in loose bouquets and put into preferably unicolour vases will turn into a splendid interior decoration.
