One of the liveliest and most beautiful tulips of all, 'Cilesta' is a division 2 (double early) with huge, bowl-shaped flowers of brightest yellow licked with dark orange and crimson flames. The flowers unfold slowly, showing off their many layers and unending neon tones. Perfect for garden or vase!
Just 10 to 12 inches high, 'Cilesta' makes an ideal "first row" or foreground planting for the tulip garden. Its stems are very thick and sturdy, keeping the flowers from flopping and extending their season of beauty indoors or out. Give it full sun to very light shade for years of beauty. Zones 3-7.
