The "Olympic Flame" tulip is a valuable Darwin hybrid variety. Its large, golden-yellow flowers are adorned with red, irregular stripes. Black stamen that beautifully contrast with the colourful complement the overall appearance. The 55-60-cm tall "Olympic Flame" tulips cannot be overlooked, when they form incredible colourful arrangements in the garden. The picturesque flower heads of this fiery tulip are perfect for planting in larger groups on borders. It looks terrific on flower beds and lawns. Stiff and strong stems of this tulip division predestine it for growing alongside pavements and paths. "Olympic Flame" is a great cut flower, too. The energizing bouquets composed of those tulips retain their attractive appearance for quite a long time.
